A propos de cet article

Presentation inscription, "To the Observatory at Glasgow from the Author" not signed, but handwriting does not match another presentation sample of Challis' writing we have seen. Either one could be real or written by a proxy, and it was common in those days to have a copperplate style and plain style which could look very different from the same hand. Front hinge sprung, rear hinge firm. With Glasgow Observatory stamp to title page. Green cloth spine very shelfworn, paper covered boards very grubby and shelfworn. Acceptable reference copy and could be re-backed or re-cased as the text block is sound. Mostly transit observation tables plus a detailed section on reduction techniques. lxiv+2pp corrigenda+160pp. Size: Folio.
