2 volumes. pp. (2), 217; (2), 132; iv; iii, with 183 (of 184) beautifully handcoloured engraved plates. Contemporary half calf, richly gilt ornamented spines, with blue and red gilt lettered labels, marbled sides. First and only edition. The 184 hand coloured copper engravings are by Esper. The importance of the book stems from the circumstance that it is one of the earliest physiological publications and that Esper's name is frequently cited in synonymies' (Stafleu & Cowan 1721). Volume I constists of 4 parts and volume II of 3. The plates are superbly handcoloured. A very fine and clean copy. Stafleu & Cowan 1721; Nissen BBI, 606. 1797
