Both volumes contain a half title page (publishers advertising verso of Vol 2) and a title page.

Damp stain to the frontispiece in Volume 2, light foxing to the frontispiece (and guardsheet) in Volume 1. 

Not much to report on the inner pages, just some occasional spotting and minor brown blemishes and the occasional soil mark; both volumes have some sentences or paragraphs underlined in red and the occasional minor marginal nick or tear or curled edge; both have unevenly sized pages.

Volume 2 has several sections of pages straining at the gutter. 

Both volumes contain black and white illustrations throughout, some within the text, some full page (Volume 1 contains 1 colour plate - a lovely picture of some ants!!) and Directions to the Binders are present in both volumes.

Volume 2 has a very weak front hinge.

I have done my best to describe this book based on my current knowledge, but nobody is perfect. I welcome any questions you may have about this book. I know that the pictures do not usually do justice to the books.
