hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Lives of Eminent Zoologists, from Aristotle to Linnæus, W. MacGillivray â" Second Edition Publication: Edinburgh, Oliver & Boyd; and Simpkin & Marshall, London, 1834 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [frontispiece], 391. Condition Report: Very Good. The original publisherâs cloth binding remains tight and structurally sound, though the spine is significantly sun-faded to a tan hue with light fraying and chipping at the head and tail. The plum-coloured boards retain their blind-stamped borders and the gilt central wreath is pleasantly bright, despite some minor superficial scratching and a faint circular discolouration on the rear board. Internally, the hinges are perfectly solid, and the text block is securely bound with gently age-toned, untrimmed edges. There is noticeable foxing and offsetting to the frontispiece and the title page, alongside typical light scattered spotting throughout, but the pages are otherwise clean and highly legible, making this a remarkably well-preserved survival of a delicate 19th-century casing. Catalogue Note:ÂThis second edition features a handsome engraved frontispiece portrait of Carl Linnaeus by J. Horsburgh, protected by its original tissue guard. It is particularly notable for remaining in its original publisher's cloth, a delicate early example of edition binding that often perishes or is replaced with half-calf rebinds. Original cloth copies from the 1830s have become increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly those that have not suffered severe structural degradation to the text block or joints. A fascinating 19th-century biographical journey through the history of zoology, William MacGillivrayâs Lives of Eminent Zoologists traces the evolution of natural history from antiquity to the Enlightenment. By examining the lives, struggles, and discoveries of monumental figures such as Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, Ray, Reaumur, and Linnaeus, MacGillivray brings the study of the natural world into brilliant focus, offering a captivating read for both history buffs and naturalists. J. Horsburgh (illustrator).…
