Our copy has all the plates plus the wrappers for the final supplement parts.

In this set, volumes 2-15 contain the flowering plants, volumes 16-18 Musci, 19 Hepaticae, 20-22 Lichens, and 23-24 Algae.

'This celebrated work was issued in 19 parts, constituting chiefly of a series of beautiful hand-colored plates with explanatory text of birds of many regions by well-known artists, among them Lear, Gould, and the principal text contributors' (Wood). Illustrations of Ornithology was published to complement Selby's Illustrations of British Ornithology (1821-33) and in response to the paucity of works on non-European avifauna. Apart from John Latham's General History of Birds (1821-8), which Jardine and Selby deemed insufficient, there were in 1826 ‘fewer than a dozen titles published in Europe covering birds of Africa, Asia, North and South America, and one for Australia’ (Jackson & Davis, Sir William Jardine: A Life in Natural History , p. 37). To obtain specimens Jardine organised a collecting drive of unprecedented scale, applying to agents in the Cape of Good Hope, Jamaica, Barbados, Madeira, South Carolina, Trinidad, the Gambia and Sierra Leone, Buenos Aires and North America, and soliciting examples from relatives and associates travelling to Australia, India and Africa. The work is rarely encountered complete with the fourth volume of 53 plates, which was published between 1836 and 1843, and is described in the 'Note' to the rear of the third volume as a 'New Series'.

The Librarian of the Zoological Soc of London ... told me he could find no work in the library there which contained similar plates ... He personally thought that they formed part of a projected monograph which owing to the great cost involved was never completed'.

First published in the year of his death, and dedicated to Edward VI, De Regno Christi examines and addresses the true nature of monarchy in relation to the (reformed) church, and is thus an important intervention in English Reformation theology.
