Rural Chemistry; An Elementary Introduction to the Science in Its Relation to Agriculture

Edward Solly

Verlag: Office of the Gardeners' Chronicle, London, 1846

Beschreibung

Rare. Edward Solly was a chemist who applied principles of chemistry to agriculture. He held several academic positions during his professional life, and he was an elected Fellow of the Royal Society, and a member of other noted scientific societies as well. A few of the topics covered in this text include carbon, bases, organic matter, and deterioration of soil. This copy is a second edition, which is important as the second edition and expanded, including an expanded Table of Analyses. The condition of this copy is fair. Good points about this particular copy include content that is complete and unblemished, as is the decorative binding; at some point, this copy was rebound, from the original boards, with marbled papers and a leather spine. The cover itself has several issues, and the binding is loose. Edges are soiled. See photos. However, this rare volume is nearly 175 years old. One last point of interest: this is an ex-library copy, but not a public circulation library - it comes from the U.S. Patent Office, and from a marking, we can even tell its location in that library - Case 66, Shelf D. "Patent Office Library" is embossed on the title page. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 105
