A propos de cet article

Various locations, quarto and octavo, variously paged. ***CONTENT: This collection was deaccessioned from the Peabody Museum, Yale University in 1995 (I can provide ownership documentation). Most of the reports are written in French or German and were sent to Dana by prominent 19th century European geologists and paleontologists. Some offprints include plates or maps. Topics are typically geologic or paleontologic. Noteworthy authors include: Barrois, Charles Brongniart, Cappelle, Delgado, Geinitz, Geinetz-Rostock, Keilhack, Lapparent, Linder, Merian, Hugh Miller (1887), De Margerie, Nathorst, Noë, Packard, Prestwich, Renevier, Rutot, Whiteaves, and others. No separates herein were written by Dana. The largest report (by Noë and De Margerie (1888) "Les Formes du Terrain" has 205 text pages and 49 plates of Earth structure. Dana's characteristic oval Peabody Museum ownership stamp is found in the top right corner of many offprints, other reports bear presentation inscriptions. Dana is best known for his pioneering studies of coral reefs, volcanism, mountain-building, the origin and structure of continents and ocean basins, and more. ***CONDITION: These separates are complete and are in near Good to Fine condition, though mostly Good-Very Good. All are in the original wrappers or self-wraps. Some wraps are edge chipped or have splits. The interiors are fresh, clean, and bright; a few show mild foxing/age toning. All reports show Peabody Museum ownership markings and are housed in archival plastic sleeves, open at the top. Domestic and international shipping will be extra for this collection, but only at my cost.…
