A COMPLETE SET OF GOULD'S WORKS 



183. GOULD (JOHN). A Complete Set of the Ornithological 

 and other Works of John Gould. 45 vols., folio, uniformly bound 

 in full green levant morocco, gilt backs and borders (tooling slight- 

 ly varied), gilt edges (a few bindings slightly scraped). 



London, 1831-1888 

 This magnificent set is to Europe, Asia, etc., what the folio Au- 

 dubon IS TO America. All the plates were drawn from the original speci- 

 mens collected by Mr. Gould, and these models were afterwards deposited 

 by him in the Museum of the Zoological Society at London. 



A COMPLETE SET SUCH AS THIS, IN SUCH BRILLIANT AND WELL-PRE- 

 SERVED CONDITION, with but very few blemishes on the plates, is ex- 

 tremely UNCOMMON, AND DIFFICULT TO PROCURE. So Complete was the 

 absorption of these publications, that at the time of the death of the 

 author, not one copy of the "Birds of Europe" was in the Gould re- 

 mainder stock. Of the "Birds of Australia" no perfect copy was left 

 unsold, except the pattern copy, and of the "Birds of Great Britain" 

 only four perfect original copies remained unsold.
