Pennant, Thomas. British Zoology. A new edition. In four volumes. 4 Bände. London. 1812. Mit 4 gestochenen Titelblättern mit Vignetten und 294 (3 gefalteten) Kupfertafeln. Gr.-8°. Marmorierte Pappbände im Stil der Zeit mit goldgeprägtem schwarzen Rückenschild. Die umfangreiche, auf vier Bände angewachsene "British Zoology", hier in der maßgeblichen, oft ziertierten Ausgabe. Erstmalig war das Werk in den Jahren 1776-1777 erschienen. Es ist besonders reich mit Kupfertafeln nach M. Griffith, O. Paillou u. a. illustriert, wobei die Abbildungen dermaßen naturnah sind, dass sie für Generationen von Forschern eine Orientierung boten. Viele Tiere werden auch in ihrem natürlichen Habitat dargestellt. Der waliser Naturwissenschaftler, Ornithologe, Zoologe und Altertumsforscher Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) legte damit dem Wissenschaftler ebenso wie dem Laien ein Handbuch vor, das in einfacher Sprache die komplexen Zusammenhänge erklärte: "His books were valued for their highly readable treatment of the existing knowledge of natural history. His volume on British Zoology (1766) stimulated zoological research, particularly in ornithology, in Great Britain." (Encyclopedia Britannica). Die vorliegende fünfte, posthume Auflage enthält u. a. 96 Vogeltafeln und ist die erste mit Pennants Namen auf dem Titelblatt. Die fünf Bände behandeln in enzyklopädischer Form verschiedene Gebiete der Zoologie: Säugetiere, Vögel, Fische, Lurche, Krusten- und Schalentiere, bis hin zu einigen wirbellosen Tieren. Die Kupfertitel nur vereinzelt gering braunfleckig. Stellenweise minimal braun- und wasserfleckig. Die Kupfertafeln sind prägnant und kräftig gedruckt, einige Tafeln etwas knapp beschnitten und vereinzelt mit leichtem Abklatsch. Teils gestempelt. Kaum flec. Nissen, IVB, 710. Wood 516. Anker 399.

Leather-bound. Zustand: Very Good Plus. Thomas Pennant (illustrator). Octavo. Dark brown full diced calf (russia), bordered by blind stamped interlocking device. Rebacked in matching calf, ruled in gilt. Contrasting spine label (gilt on black). Marbled edges. Crabs, Lobsters, Worms, Shells. 93 plates. Very tight, pages unmarred, very clean. Fascinating little-before known notes about Lobsters, for instance: "Lobsters fear thunder; and are apt to cast their claws on a great clap. I am told they will do the same on firing a great gun; and that when men of war meet on a lobster boat, a jocular threat is used, That, if the master does not sell them good lobsters, they will salute him.Lobsters change their crust annually. Previous to their putting off their old one, they appear sick, languid, and restless; They totally acquire a new coat in a few days; but during the time that they remain defenceless they seem some very lonely place, for fear of being attacked and devoured by such of their brethren that are not in the same weak situation."(pp. 40-41).

Quarta edizione, caratterizzata dalla presenza di oltre cento tavole in più rispetto alla prima, del meticoloso studio di Pennant sulla fauna britannica. Con quest'opera, scritta in un periodo in cui lo studio della storia naturale esotica era molto popolare in Europa, l'A. si prefiggeva di ".diverting the astonishment of our countrymen at the gifts of nature bestowed on other kingdoms, to a contemplation of those with which . . . she has enriched our own". Nell'opera sono presentate tutte le specie animali presenti in Inghilterra. Particolarmente significativa risulta la trattazione degli uccelli, sia terrestri che marini, accompagnata da numerose tavole. Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) naturalista e viaggiatore inglese che scrisse numerosi libri di storia naturale e viaggi, inclusi due sulla zoologia dell'India e dell'Artico. Eletto membro della Royal Society, corrispondeva regolarmente con tutti i principali naturalisti dell'epoca, tra cui Linneo, Sir Joseph Banks e Buffon, utilizzando molte delle loro ricerche nei suoi libri. Contribuì notevolmente ad "organizzare, divulgare e promuovere lo studio della storia naturale" (DSB, X, p. 509). .
