Beschreibung

New York: Wiley & Putnam, 1844. 8vo, 633 p., original brown cloth stamped in blind with spine stamped in gilt. Second edition of this landmark work on mineralogy, and one of the most comprehensive treatises on mineralogy ever published, which Dana would later revise to incorporate a new classification scheme based on similarities in mineral chemistry. This is a G+ copy only, with small mend to cloth at spine crown, chip to spine heel, with wear and rubbing to corners; moderate to heavy foxing and offsetting throughout, including to the four plates, but a sound copy of a rare book. OCLC locates a dozen or so copies of this edition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1726508105259
