GOSSE, Philip Henry

A naturalist’s sojourn in Jamaica.

London : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1851. Octavo, blind ruled pebbled cloth, lettered in gilt to the spine, very slight fading to the spine but a crisp and fine copy, pp. xxiv; 508; (2 – Other works by Mr. Gosse); 32 – publisher’s catalogue, tinted lithograph frontispiece; 8 tinted lithograph plates with tissue guards, some with hand colouring, a very fine copy which appears to never have been read.

Freeman 50a: “It is one of his finest books, showing his powers as a field naturalist, and is still of value today”.
