| Author | White, Adam |
| Edition | First Edition. |
| Published | Reeve and Benham London 1850 |
| Description | VIII-346-(IV)-14-8 PP. [incl. advertisements] with 16 hand coloured full pp. plates. Adam White (1817-1879) worked in the Zoology Department of the British Museum from 1835 to 1863, specializing in Crustacea and Insects. He worked on quite some important and also popular books on Natural History, including the supplying of the chapter on "Insects" to the Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Erebus and Terror (1843). He was aquainted with Charles Darwin, who wrote a testimonial of White in 1854, in which he described how, on his regular visits to the British Museum he had invariably found White "Most zealous and obliging in your endeavours to aid me in every possible way". A very good, fresh and clean copy in the original gilded, decorated publishers cloth. |
