Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. GRIFFITH Moses 1747-1819 (illustratore). VG, 1st ed, 1804, 9 pls (of 9). In worn marbled boards. Re-spine, to style, gilt tooling & titles, new tips. Internally, [8], [1], 2-120 pp, 9 pls (of 9), light water stain to top outer corner of each plate, not affecting image, text block edges yellowed, leaves watermarked Neckinger Milll 1801 & 1800, plates dated 1801/3/4, small bookbinder label to epf. Left in manuscript ready for publication when Pennant died and was brought on by his son David Pennant. (229*293 mm). (The Library 1938). Pennant's travels and natural history are distinguished by his personal energy, a keen observational sense, and by methodological organization and attention to facts. In such ways, and in his friendship and widespread correspondence with others of like interests throughout Britain and Europe, he may be said to exemplify those gentleman scholars of nature in the later eighteenth century whose interests in natural knowledge aimed at national improvement through intellectual enquiry.
