[Charles Agvent]

 From our new catalog:

ACERBI, Joseph. TRAVELS THROUGH SWEDEN, FINLAND, AND LAPLAND, TO THE 
NORTH CAPE, IN THE YEARS 1798 AND 1799. London: Joseph Mawman, 1802. 
First Edition. Two quarto (7-3/4" x 10") volumes in contemporary tree 
calf leather with gilt-lettered red morocco spine labels. Illustrated 
with 16 (of 17, lacking the folding map) engravings. Acerbi was an 
Italian naturalist and composer. His record of travels in Scandinavia 
describes the customs of the people and detailed observations on natural 
history. Much of the second volume concerns Lapland where he visited 
remote areas described here. Complete but for the map which remains only 
as a fragment. Scattered staining and foxing but generally clean. 
Bindings rubbed but the covers are tight. Very Good. (#017983)        
$600.00
