Herschel, W.

Descripción

London, The Royal Society, 1794. Large 4to (26.7 x 20.8 cm). pp. 46-72. Disbound. = This paper by the famous astronomer William Herschel (1738-1822) is of interest as it contains the remark, quoted, abridged, in Gaither' s Dictionary of scientific quotations, "The sun is the celestial body which should first attract our notice, not only on its own account but since the fixed stars are, by the strictest analogy, similar bodies". An original section, taken from the Philosophical Transactions for the year 1795 (not from the later, abridged edition). Disbound. First page a bit foxed, otherwise a good copy. Rare. Gaither, p. 2434.
