Former owner’s inscription to half-title: “Marian Arkwright from Uncle Horace Currie Dec. 29, 1873.”

A very good untrimmed and wide-margined copy of Waterton’s Wanderings, a classic of English travel literature. He chose particularly to present in a readable form his extensive natural history observations. These are, however, still sufficiently exact to make positive identifications of species.
