1867 Meteors, Aerolites, And Falling Stars
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
This very scarce guide to all that falls to our earth from space, written by celebrated British scientist and violinist Thomas Lamb Phipson, compiles a popular exposition of the subject matter, taken from the author's astronomical observations and other scientific findings of the time, presented in an easily understood work designed for the general population. First edition. With monochrome vignette illustrations throughout. A wonderful introduction to the science behind falling stars, Phipson's 'Meteors, Aerolites, And Falling Stars' brought the enchanting world of space down to an eager layman audience.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding, with gilt stamped decoration to the front board. Externally, generally very smart, with shelf wear to the head and tail of the spine and extremities, and some handling marks to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are generally bright and clean, with some age-toning and handling marks in places. The top of the half title page is missing with a clean cut.
Very Good Indeed
