Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Original publisher's blue cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine. 6 1/2" x 9 3/4." 262 pages, complete. Corrigenda tipped-in facing the Preface. Pages and covers are very clean and intact. Some chipping at the fore-edge of the front free endpaper and leaf facing the half-title. Pages slightly browned. A Very Good copy. In the Preface, S. P. Langley discusses the provenance of this book and the previous publications of the tables by the Swiss-American geographer and geologist, Arnold Guyot (1807-1884). Excerpt from the Preface: "In connection with system of meteorological observations established by the Smithsonian Institution about 1850, a collection of meteorological tables was compiled by Dr. Arnold Guyot, at the request of Secretary Henry, and published in 1852 as a volume of the Miscellaneous Collections. Five years later, in 1857, a second edition was published . In 1859 a third edition was published . After twenty-five years of valuable service, the work was again revised by the author; and the fourth edition, containing over 700 pages, was published in 1884. . In a few years the demand for the tables exhausted the edition, and thereupon it appeared desirable to recast entirely the work. After careful consideration, I decided to publish the new tables in three parts: Meteorological Tables, Geographical Tables, and Physical Tables, each representative of the latest knowledge in its field, and independent of the others; but the three forming a homogeneous series.".
