Full-Leather. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good copy of this extremely scarce work on Orkney fauna. William Balfour Baikie was born in Orkney, and obtained a degree in medicine in Edinburgh. He became an assistant surgeon in the Royal Navy and went on to become a well known explorer. This work, published just as he started his career in the navy, was designed to fill a large gap in naturalists' knowledge of Orkney fauna, and he hoped that others would use it as a basis for further exploration. This copy is in a newer full leather binding with gilt titles to spine. There is the bookplate of John Davie Manson Robertson (a well known Orkney book collector) to the front pastedown endpaper and both endpapers date from the rebinding. The contents are complete and very clean with light toning to paper and the occasional small mark.
