No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions", Vol. 154 - Part II, pp. 413-435 a. pp. 437-444 and 2 lithographed plates.(1 plate showing the spectroscope which could be attached to his eight-innch telescope invented by Huggin's and Miller, the start of stellar spectroscopi, t…he other plate showing the obtained spectra of the nebulæ Aldebaran and Orionis). First printing of a historical paper in spectroscopy and cosmology in which the authors shows, by analysing the spectrae of nebulae, of stars, of planets, of comets, and of the sun, that they are all built of the same elements as the earth. Thus was "laid to rest the twenty-one-century notion of Aristotle's that the heavens were composed of a unique substance not found on the earth."(Asimov). They also shows that there is a considerable diversity of chemical composition among the stars.In this paper Huggins also describes his discovery, by spectroscopy, that a number of nebulae are luminous gas clouds."William Huggins (1824-1910), English astronomer, a pioneer in spectroscopy and photography. He examined spectroscopically the chemical constitution of stars and comets, and the gaseous nature of planetary and diffuse nebulae" he applied the Doppler Principle to the measurement of the radial velocities of stars, and published an atlas of representative stellar spectra" (Ripley: Source Book in Astronomy).

First appearence of this milestone paper, announcing the very first determination of the movement and velocity of a star. (Sirius). This discovery of the m…otion in the line of sight, the radial velocity, is of exceeding importence in astronomy, for it can be determined by shifts in the position of the spectral lines, without regard tothe distance of the star.In this paper Huggins applied to spectroscopic astronomy the principle enunciated by Doppler in 1841 that the positions of spectrum lines change as the object moves to or from the spectator. After consulting,in 1867 with James Clerk Maxwell, but wholly independent of him, Huggins presented to the Ropyal Society early in 1868, this paper with the observation on the spectrum of Sirius, from which a motion from the earth could be deduced of ab. 25 miles pr. second."William Huggins (1824-1910), English astronomer, a pioneer in spectroscopy and photography.
