London : J Dixwell, J Sewell, 1781 A very good copy of this scarce work with frontispiece, 20 hand coloured plates, one of which is folded, and 2 plain plates, in contemporary full leather binding. Little is known about the author, James Barbut, other than that he was an artist with a keen interest in nature. This work, with text in English and French, is the product of his close observation of the 'insect' world (which he understood to include spiders, scorpions, and crabs), and the artwork and descriptions are a pleasure to view. This copy is in contemporary binding with gilt compartments and title label to spine; cross-hatched blind-tooled decoration with gilt border to boards. It has some scuffing and wear and has been rebacked to relay the spine and reinforce the corners. The original endpapers are present. Contents with initial blank; black and white engraved English title page frontispiece; title page in French with ink signature to top right; list of subscribers and errata 2pp; Preface in double column English and French pp i-xvii; index 1p; text in English and French pp 1-271 with 20 hand coloured plates, 1 folding (butterflies) and 2 plain anatomical plates; index 19pp; directions to binder 1p; final blank. There is some light toning to text pages and the odd spot or mark including occasional offsetting from plates. Plates very well coloured; plate paper lightly toned.

LONDON : John Van Voorst, 1856 A VG copy of the first edition in the original blind stamped decorative cloth binding with gilt titles to spine. With colour printed fold out frontispiece, 5 further colour plates and one plain plate as called for. The Revd Tugwell unashamedly addressed this work to 'the amateur rambler about our English coasts' and provides an account in plain language for the rambler to follow. The result is a charming example of victorian natural history - written to encourage the reader to understand nature better. With a listing of locations at the rear. The binding and the original endpapers are in very good clean condition with only a very slight marking to the top of the boards. The contents are also very clean and bright. The reverse of the plates have shadows of the plate images but there is little offsetting to the text. Small light book, please enquire if you would like us to assess postage at cost.
