Soft cover. pp.xx, 206 with colour frontis. of a Dotterell by Keulemans and fold-out map. With Errata slip. 8vo. Hardback. Short closed tear to margin of p.13, o/w. contents fine. James Edmund Harting's (1841-1928) copy with his coat of arms bookplate, and his annotations, corrections and notes to 11 pages, plus his insertions of related material (bird sightings) including a typed, corrected, proof (corrections in Harting's hand) of the scholarly, four page article which featured in The Zoologist (June 1886) reviewing this publication. Original blue cloth boards in nr. fine condition. A superb copy. Harting was editor of The Zoologist from 1877 to 1896. Whilst the book review is not attributed to anyone, it would appear that Harting thoroughly read this copy of The Birds of Cumberland and was very probably the author of the review. The notes he made in his copy feature clearly within the review. The insertions added to this copy by Harting date until 1912 indicating his ongoing curiosity and high level of interest in the subject.
