by Arthur Phillip Return to list Adopt this book

Ideal for natural history enthusiasts, this elegantly printed illustrated edition contains a great variety of plates of animals, birds, serpents, lizards, curious cones of trees and other previously unknown flora and fauna of New South Wales.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
