Description: The first edition of this two-volume account of the author's travels in Northern Europe from 1871 to 1875, with friends, E.R. Alston and Henry Seebohm. The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth bindings. Illustrated with a frontispiece, fifteen plates and two folding colour maps to Volume I. Illustrated with a frontispiece, nine plates (two of which are in colour) and two maps (one of which is a folding map) to Volume II. Collated complete. John Alexander Harvie-Brown (1844-1916) was a Scottish ornithologist and naturalist. His most famous expedition was with Henry Seebohm to the lower reaches of the Pechora River in 1875, when the eggs of the grey plover and the little stint were discovered. He gives an account of this expedition, as well as his travels to Norway in 1871 and Archangel in 1872, in these two volumes, with details on natural history and ornithology. In the publisher's original cloth bindings. Externally very smart, though with small marks to the spines, and small marks to the front board of Vol II. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean except for the odd spot to the first and last few pages, and offsetting to the free end papers. Very Good Indeed
