Catalogo metodico dei pesci Europei.Naples, Stamperia e cartiere del Fibreno, 1846. Large 4to (32.5 x 23.5 cm). With a vignette of two fish on the title page. Contemporary green wrappers.

97, [1 blank], [1], [1 blank] pp.First and only edition of the standalone version of a systematic classification of European species of fish by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte (1803-1857). This publication - in Latin but with an Italian title - was also published as part of the proceedings of the 7th congress of Italian scientists held in Naples in 1845, at which Bonaparte presided over the zoological commission. "As early as 1831 Bonaparte became interested on the great principle of classification and was critical of Cuvier's concepts. … In ichthyology Bonaparte made use of the location, the structure and the relationships of the branchiae in the classification of fishes. … Bonaparte tried to establish our knowledge of various zoological groups once and for all, and published numerous synopses, conspectuses, and catalogs" (DSB).Binding worn with the head of the spine damaged and a large tear at the back repaired with tape. Some foxing throughout but otherwise in good condition.l Dean I, p. 149 1845.2; DSB II, pp. 281-283; Mulder Bosgoed, Bibliotheca ichthyologica et piscatoria, 591.

WILSON, Alexander (1766-1813); Prince Charles Lucian Bonaparte (1803-1857)

American Ornithology; or, the Natural History of the Birds of the United States

London, Paris & New York, Cassell Petter & Galpin [Chatto & Windus], 1877. First Edition thus [from 1808]. Half-Morocco. A superb 3-volume British edition of this classic American bird book, the "first major scientific work published in the United States" (Burtt and Davis, p. 333), here in its final state (with notes and Life of Wilson by Sir William Jardine) and with the largest number of plates. Demy 8vo (211 x 140mm): cv,[1],408,[8,Cassell catalogue]; vii,[1],495,[1]; vii,[1],540pp, with tissue-guarded engraved portrait frontispiece of Wilson in shooting attire and 103 chromolithographed plates, featuring Lizar's attractive re-engravings of Wilson's originals. Publisher's dark green morocco-backed red cloth, spines richly gilt with hawk vignette, top edge gilt, black coated end papers. Pages and plates virtually pristine (light foxing to opening leaves of each volume; label blacked out on fly leaves). Nissen 996 (Chatto & Windus imprint). Anker 533. Sitwell, p. 155-57. Reese 3 ("the first American work to use color plates to convey scientific information, and the first real combination of text and color illustration produced in the United States.") Anker 533 and 534. Originally published in nine folio volumes with 76 hand-colored engravings between 1808 and 1814 in a subscribed edition of 400 copies, then updated and expanded after Wilson's death by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte, 2nd Prince of Canino and Musignano. Wilson was almost entirely eclipsed in popular awareness by John James Audubon and his Birds of America (1827-1838), but Wilson, not Audubon, is the true founder of American ornithology, and this work is the foundational account of North American birds. This edition reprints Wilson's original text and Bonaparte's "continuation" and includes Jardine's later notes (see Zimmer I, pp. 64-65), which Neville Wood (quoted in Allibone III, 2765-2766) calls "by far the best edition." Matching entirely in format, binding, pages, and plates the Chatto & Windus edition of 1876 (see Sitwell). Indeed sets have appeared in commerce with the Chatto & Windus imprint to Volume I and that of Cassell Peter & Galpin to Volumes II and III. The publishing firm Cassell was founded in 1848 by John Cassell and taken over by Thomas Dixon Galpin and George William Petter in 1855, when it began trading as Cassell Petter & Galpin. The imprint did not become Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Company until 1878, with the arrival of a new partner, Robert Turner. Petter resigned in 1883, and from 1888 the company was known simply as Cassell & Co. N. B.
