Fair to good condition. "In the present Revised Edition of the English translation of M. Figuier's Popular History of Mammals all the footnotes of the previous edition have been incorporated, and where necessary, the text has been altered so as to make it harmonise with these notes, some few of which, there is reason to believe, were written by the late well-known zoologist, E. Blyth. I have also not hesitated to omit some sentences that conveyed ideas now known to be inaccurate." Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
