With an owner's inscription of the Edinburgh Royal Society on the title-page of the text volume and an inscription, perhaps by the Glasgow professor of medicine, eye surgeon and fellow of the Royal Society Thomas Wharton Jones (1808-1891) on the first contemporary endpaper of the plates volume: "For the Royal Society Edinburgh from their . humble servant / Mr Jones". Bindings only very slightly worn. Frontispiece and title-page slightly foxed, also some foxing throughout the text volume. Otherwise in good condition.l ESTC T88415; Hagen, p. 2; Horn & Schenkling 39; Nissen ZBI 24; Pritzel 18; cf. Poggendorff I, p. 10 (1787 ed.).
