	AIKMAN, JAMES A Natural History of Beasts, Birds & Fishes London, Thomas Nelson. Half-Leather, 4 x 6.5". xii, 373pp inc index and index of plates, colour frontis and numerous b+w plates - Undated, but apparently mid-nineteenth century. Covers (brown half-leather over marbelled paper with five raised, gilt-decorated bands to spine and gilt titles to morocco leather label to spine) have some edgewear and rubbed corners. Textblock is fairly heavily foxed throughout. There is no title or copyright page, but said pages do not appear to have been removed, rather, the book appears to have been bound without them. The pagination is two blank leaves, the coloured frontis with title included (though no other publishing details) and then come the two indices, followed by the text itself. The frontis has some very light pencilled marks at the top (which I'll leave you to erase). In other illustrations the sky and/or body of water has been water-painted blue. Some of these paint jobs look professionally done and others not. The paint can probably safely be removed, if you wish, by carefully, lightly rubbing a slightly damp cloth over the affected area.
