Sobre este artículo
London: William Orr, 1833. 12mo, xx, 122pp., preliminary advert leaf. In the publisher's original dark green glazed linen boards (very early cloth binding!) with printed paper label on the cover, a vignette woodcut on title page, and woodcut text illustrations. A very good copy of the scarce first edition. James Rennie (1787-1867) graduated from Glasgow University where he initially studied natural sciences, moved to London in 1821, and between 1830 to 1834, was professor of natural history and zoology at King's College. He emigrated to Australian 1840, headed up the College High School in Elizabeth Street, Sydney, with an emphasis on the arts and natural history. The second series of ëAlphabetà books of which Rennie proposed to publish a volume or part every two or three months.î They were designed to improve on the ëLibrary of Useful Knowledgeà which he thought too abstruse, and ill-adapted for beginners. Very good with slight nick, wear to spine. Most scarce.
