Dear Hist-Nat-Hist colleagues,
For a bibliographical project that I am contributing to, my co-authors and I are searching for a copy of Vieillot's "Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de l'Amerique Septentrionale" (Paris, 1807; folio, 2 vols.) THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL PART-WRAPPERS.
Such a copy was cited in a published article in the 1980s but without any indication of its location or owner/institution, and the author of the article cannot now find the information in his notes or memory.
According to OCLC, the work is held by the following libraries (excluding those I have already personally checked, namely the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress). We will be extremely grateful if anyone at these libraries/institutions can check their copy and let me know if the wrappers are present.
California - UC-Berkeley, UCLA
Connecticut - Trinity College
Illinois - Field Museum, Northwestern Univ., Univ.Chicago, Univ.Illinois
Kansas - Univ.Kansas
Louisiana - Louisiana State Univ.
