The author, the Portuguese physician and naturalist António da Costa de Paiva, traveled to Madeira to receive treatment for tuberculosis.

BMC NH, p. 1499.

Folio (295 x 227mm). 19, XIX, 169, [2] pp. Half title. 2 hand-colored plates (occasional light dust-soiling around the edges). Contemporary green half morocco and marbled boards, spine gilt (a little worn at extremities, upper joint starting). Provenance: Eduardo Luiz Ferreira Carmo, Portuguese numismatist (presentation inscription).
