Complete in 5 volumes: 4 plus the supplementary volume. Numerous plates, many folding. A good ex-reference library set in the original red cloth gilt. Library plate to front pastedown of each volume, no other library markings apparent. Externally clean with some sun fading and minor scuffing to cloth boards. Vol. 1 backstrip split and reaffixed. Vol. 2 and the supplementary volume rebacked with new endpapers but retaining original backstrips. Text blocks of each volume are tight with no loose or missing pages, all plates present.

Overall a clean tight copy of this cornerstone of 19th Century biological thought.
