A distinguished 1832 edition of History of the Earth and Animated Nature by Oliver Goldsmith, printed by A. Fullarton & Co. of Glasgow, and augmented with notes by Captain Thomas Brown.

This exquisitely bound four-volume set offers a captivating exploration of early nineteenth-century natural history, blending poetic narrative with empirical observation. Elegantly appointed in leather, it features steel-engraved plates throughout and a thoughtfully compiled appendix on classification systems.

With its period wear — including scuffed covers, corner rubbing, and foxing to the pages — the set bears the graceful patina of age. One map insert remains intact but bears a tear. A fine acquisition for the discerning collector, natural history aficionado, or stylist seeking scholarly ambience.
