Description

Berlin, G. Reimer, 1846. 8vo (20.3 x 12.3 cm). xvi, 884 pp.; numerous tables. Contemporary half calf over linen boards. Spine with gilt lines, and red morocco label with gilt title. Greenish endpapers. Edges speckled red. = Written by the German mineralogist and geologist Carl Johann Bernard Karten (1782-1853). The present copy has two title pages, one as quoted above, the other being "Lehrbuch der Salinenkunde. Erster Theil", thus indicating that it is both a separate work in itself, and part of a larger series of works on salts. It is the first book entirely dealing with worldwide distribution of Kochsalz (kitchen salt, sodium chloride, or NaCl), including the oceans, underscoring the economical importance of this mineral. The work contains a large index. Some wear to the boards, and some very light foxing throughout, otherwise a very good, clean copy. Not in Cat. BM(NH).
