The American Naturalist; Bound Volumes 1-4, 6; ~All FIRST EDITIONS~ 1867 to 1872

Description: The American Naturalist - First Edition Bound Volumes Notes: I rated this set of vintage volumes in acceptable condition due to wear, use and aging for books up to 155 years old. These are not reprints. The books vary in condition, which will be specifically described below. All volumes are ex-library, previously at the Somerville Public Library, thus expect typical library features. Due to limitation of 24 photos, I will show the external and describe the internal condition. Please view the photos for examples of content and condition. Thanks! Volumes: Volume I.
