Hardcover. Etat : Very good. New Edition, Enlarged and Improved, with Additions from the Author's Manuscripts and Original Notes. Hardcover. The insects examined in this 1862 treatise by influential entomologist and Harvard librarian Thaddeus William Harris (1795-1856) may be "injurious to vegetation," but they certainly do grace the 8 gorgeously colored chromolithographic plates inside these strikingly gilt-stamped boards, joined by a swarm of 278 figures, engravings drawn from nature under the supervision of the great Louis Agassiz. 8 1/2" X 6". xi, 640pp, plus two pages of publisher's ads. Bound in full emerald coarse wave grain cloth over bevelled boards, with large moth stamped in gilt to both boards, spine lettered in kind with spotted Pelidnota in gilt to tail. Moderate wear to binding, with small tears to edges and extremities, particularly at head and tail of spine, scattered rubbing, including to gilt, and light dust soiling to cloth. All edges red. Both inner hinges have cracked and have been reinforced with archival adhesive, with some tears visible to gutters of endpapers. Name of Paul L. Rice, "Agr. Exp. Station" in pencil to front free endpaper. Small crease turning to neat tear to upper margin of Plate IV, with large open tear to facing tissue-guard. Strong off-setting to tissue-guards and pages following from color plates, and occasional spot of foxing or light toning, else pages are clean and unmarked. Illustrated in 8 chromolithographic plates and 278 black and white figures. New Edition, Enlarged and Improved, with Additions from the Author's Manuscripts and Original Notes.
