Donaldson to front free endpapers, with his bequest plate to the Philadelphia Zoological Garden, subsequent ownership and deaccession stamps of the Zoological Society of Philadelphia to endpapers.First edition, second issue, of the first record of the menagerie of the Zoological Society. Founded in 1826 with botanical gardens and a zoological collection at Regent's Park, the Zoological Society of London was soon established as the foremost natural history collection in Europe, receiving the Royal Menagerie from William IV in 1831. The descriptions were contributed by (among others) Vigors, Wallich, Broderip, and Yarrell, and edited by Edward Turner Bennett (1797 1836), vice-secretary of the Society under Nicholas Aylward Vigors and his successor as secretary. Though credited to William Harvey (1796 1866), the illustrations contain drawings by several other artists, including the young Edward Lear. The descriptions and images together offered the first view of the Society's gardens, which would not be opened to the public until 1847. Printed at Chiswick by Charles Wittingham, the first volume was initially sold by Tegg and Hailes and dated 1830 and the second by Sharpe with the date 1831; the two volumes were first issued together, as here, by Charles Tilt in 1831.

Evidence of detached bookplate to upper pastedown of volume three. Small ink stain to two pages in volume two, otherwise quite clean throughout. An appealing example of this richly illustrated edition. The Thousand and One Nights (Alf Laylah wa-Laylah), also referred to as the Arabian Nights, is a collection of folktales drawn from diverse sources across Southwest Asia and North Africa, mostly originating from the Abbasid Caliphate (ca. 750 - 1250). Persian and Arabic manuscript versions compiling at least some of the tales date back to the eleventh century, and Antoine Galland, who published the first translation of the Nights into a European language between 1704 and 1717, worked from a fifteenth-century Arabic manuscript now held at the Bibliothèque Nationale. The first English-language edition, done by an anonymous translator from Gallard's text, was published by Andrew Bell from 1706 to 1718; the next century of English translations also stemmed from Gallard's edition. It was not until the present edition, translated by Edward William Lane, that the Nights were translated directly from Arabic into English. Though there is no single canon of stories that make up the Nights, most editions share a few common tales, including the frame narrative of Scheherazade, a young noblewoman who must tell the king a new story every night to postpone her execution. This Lane translation also compiles classic stories including Sinbad the Sailor ("Story of Es-Sindibad of the Sea," vol. 2, pp. 1-80), The Fisherman and the Jinni ("Story of the Fisherman," vol. 1, pp. 78-83), and the Three Apples (vol. 1, pp. 250-257). It does not, however, include the famous folktales of Aladdin and Ali Baba, which were not associated with the Nights until their inclusion in some eighteenth-century editions by European translators. Lane had hoped to produce a more accurate version of the text than could be found in earlier English editions and chose to omit these tales in the interest of authenticity. Very Good.…
