This is a private printing of the illustrations to the 2nd edition of this work, in oblong folio format. It has 47 etchings as compared to the 40 issued in the standard work. Each etching is interleaved with a blank leaf of paper. Preparing this volume obviously entailed the printing of a title-page to fit the new format.

A pasted in letter from David Douglas the publisher, dated Dec. 30, 1882, presenting the copy to Harvie-Brown, the famous Scottish naturalist who assisted the publisher in the production of this edition, asks his 'acceptance of a set of all the etchings engraved for St. John which I had published in folio for a few friends...' Also tipped in is a four page letter to Harvie-Brown from David Douglas, discussing various matters with him.
