Contemporary gilt mottled calf, spines gilt, leather labels. First volume expertly rebacked with original backstrip laid down and labels preserved. Hinges of second volume bit rubbed. A very nice set. A reissue of the first French edition of one of the classic accounts of southern natural history and exploration, with much material relating to the southern Indian tribes. For the period, Bartram's work is unrivalled.
