Leipzig, Gerhard Fleischer dem Jungern, 1808. Three parts in one. 8vo (17.2 x 12.0 cm). Three title pages, 962 pp. [vi, 196; xxx, 466; xxiv, 240]; ten large, folded, engraved plates [0; 5; 5], 36 text illustrations [36; 0; 0]. Early 19th-century half calf over patterned boards.

The complete herpetology, part of the ichthyology (as usual in those days), entomology and malacology of this series, written by the German naturalist Johann Heinrich Helmuth (1732-1813). The first three volumes deal with birds, mammals and more fish; the last three with botany and mineralogy, but those are not included. Slight shelf-wear, some light, mostly marginal toning and spotting. In all a very good copy. Neither in Adler nor in Cat. BM(NH), nor in Nissen.
