Original volume disbound, with both boards. Clarke (1769-1822) went through Jesus College, Cambridge, without attracting much attention. However, on finishing there he took up the practice of accompanying wealthy students on European tours, collecting trinkets and art as they went. Later, he donated several items to his alma mater. Returning to Cambridge, he became its first Professor of Mineralogy. He experimented with melting metal by means of blow-pipes, and is credited with the first self-lighting match. Deckled edges front and foot. 528 pp. Size: 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 008995

Anbieterinformationen

We specialize in old hardcovers, and also have an extensive selection of local/Maritimes history. On December 31, 2023, we were forced to close our 23-year-old bricks and mortar bookstore due to a change in the building's ownership. We now operate online from our home (order pickup by appointment only).
