pp.106 interleaved (as published) and with original front wrapper and adverts. 8vo. Hardback. Bookplate of Neville Chamberlain (1869-1940) to verso of front wrapper with handwritten notes in pencil, which we believe to be his, to an interleaved page, plus several pencil underlinings and a simple correction. Minor foxing at ends with a little marking to margins of last few pages, o/w. contents in fine condition. More recently bound in wine-red textured cloth with gilt lettering to spine, a hint of sunning to spine, o/w., in fine condition. A charming copy. Neville Chamberlain was Prime Mininster at the outbreak of WWII, from May 1937 until May 1940. However, long before that, he was a keen amateur lepidopterist with a particular interest in the small moths known generally as pugs, and was said to have collected one of the finest series of moths in the country. The paragraph of notes relate to Demas coryli and observations of them in Tongue, Sutherland (or Sutherlandshire as it was written). Codice articolo 62689
