Familiar Astronomy

Descripción

"An introduction to the study of the heavens. Illustrated by Celestial Maps and upwards of 200 finely executed engravings, to which is added a treatise on the globes, and a comprehensive astronomical dictionary. For the use of Schools, Families and private students by Hannah M. Bouvier." An astonishing book, which opens up the astronomical world to everyone. 1856. The condition is very good, but there is, to the front 80 pages or so, some very faint fold marks to the top right hand corners. This copy has lost the two frontispiece maps of the heavens but we hope to replace them shortly and meanwhile the book is on offer for £400. This is a very rare book, totally understandable by anyone, and indeed Hirschel himself was a fan of it. N° de ref. del artículo 008453
