GOULD (John, 1804-1881, Ornithologist & Publisher)

Fine letter signed to J. H. Hope Edwards telling him that he trusts "that three or four years at the farthest will bring my work on the 'Birds of Great Britain' to a close; I am in fact looking forward to its being finished before that length of time has elapsed. I sincerely hope you will continue your late son's subscription to this standard work on our native birds ...", he says that if he does he "will be a gainer as the parts you possess will be of little value without the remainder ...", 2 sides 8vo., 26 Charlotte Street, Bedford Square, London, 13th January
