Goldsmith, Oliver

A History of the Earth and of Animals, In General.

Chambersburg, Thomas J. Wright, 1833. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Hardcover. 388pp. Full calf, red leather spine label. Covers rubbed and scuffed, contents are heavily tanned and foxed, but the text is unmarked and the text block is still bound tightly, some pencilled notations on endpapers. This is evidently a pirated edition, as we could find no reference to this title, which refers to "Animals" rather than "Animated Nature." Good.
