Very good condition.
Fourth Edition. Four volumes, complete. B/w plates. Calf leather binding with 5 raised bands and gilt title to spine. Title to spines is: 'Pennant's Works: British Zoology XI to XIV.' Marbled endpapers. Text block is red. A heavy set. Leather bindings are worn at top & tail of spine and rubbed at edges, worn at edge of spine and board corners, black stain to lower front board of volume III and a few other minor marks. Top edge of spine of volume I and III is broken but holding, volume II top of spine edge is missing. Bookplate to front pastedowns. All plates are present. Some foxing and age-related marks to contents. Binding is tight. Overall a decent copy of an antiquarian tome.
