Zustand: Acceptable. 23 cm; 170 pages. 117 illustrations in text. Bound in half pebbled morocco over pale leather sculpted in an unusual "sandy bottom" pattern, that is, like sand in shallow water. Upper 2 cm of backstrip torn away but present; front joint split halfway up; stain along lower joint. Pages evenly toned; occasional marginal mathematical notations in pencil, else clean and unblemished internally. Adam Paulsen, the first director of the Danish Meteorological Institute (founded 1872), led an expedition to Greenland during the International Polar Year 1882 to conduct auroral and geomagnetic observations. His study of optics was first published in 1874, and is here reprinted in an expanded second edition. Second edition ("Andet forandrede Oplag").
