Description:
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1876. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo. xii, 355, (4) pages. Complete with a frontis and two other plates. Hardcover bound in original green cloth with cover designs in black and with titles in gilt. The binding is worn but sound. Some splitting to the cloth at the right corner of the headcap on the front hinge. The binding is a bit dusty and soiled from handling. Inner hinges secure, and the text block is sound. Endpapers foxed, and the title and frontis are quite foxed. The text is generally clean. SIGNED at the top of the title page, "Mary F. Thomas." This appears to be Mary F. Thomas (1818-1888) the American physician, abolitionist, and Women's Rights leader. She would doubtless have held interest in Caroline Herschel (1750-1848), the German astronomer who discovered several comets. She was also the sister of William Herschel, with whom she worked. A scarce book with a nice association.

Description:
Boston: Estes and Lauriat, 1872. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo. Offprint (or continued) publication of a larger work. Pages 55-177, (3), as issued. Hardcover bound in original brown cloth with spine titles in gilt. Moderate rubbing and wear to the binding. The spine has some white shelf numbers partly rubbed off at the headcap. An ex-library copy with a removed bookplate on the front pastedown and a library blind stamp on the title page.. A sound copy with secure inner hinges and clean text. Contains two color plates (including the frontis) and several black and white text illustrations. This appears as an offprint, but in fact it was published this way as a regularly published stand-alone work. It details the science of ascertaining information of distant stars (the composition of their gasses, etc.) through analysis of the the light through telescopes. This was a ground-breaking tool in observing the universe beyond our solar system in the 19th century.
