First edition of this considerably expanded version of Latham's General Synopsis of Birds, including the information from the two supplements, and the information discovered since the original publication.

Modern calf, cloth lettering-pieces, partly uncut and partly unopened. Provenance: Royal College of Surgeons of England (timbro di vendita) - Vittorio Arioli (exlibris).
