London: George Routledge And Sons, 1868. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Two volume complete set, published in 1868 and 1870 respectively. Extensively illustrated with numerous excellent engravings by the Brothers Dalziel throughout the text. Rich in anthropological detail, but written of course from a white European and colonial perspective. Internally all is in VG, clean crisp and bright order, with just very occasional and then minor foxing and a small water mark to the base of c.50 pages in v.2. Block marbled to all sides. Half leather with silk cloth boards, all rather worn with small loss of cloth to front board of v.1. This also a little loose, but otherwise bindings are firm and tight. Despite coming from the pen of prolific natural history bestseller Rev Wood, a good set of this work is scarce. 4to. i.774pp ii.864pp
