Smyth (1788-1865) served in the East India Company's ship Cornwallis in the early 19th century, and took part in actions against the Seychelles, and service in Indian, Chinese and Australian waters. He later saw action in Europe, and from 1815 engaged in survey work in the Mediterranean until 1821, when he returned to Britain. A founding member of the RGS, he also joined the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Astronomical Society. His surveys of the Mediterranean were the basis for the charts of the region used by the Royal Navy into the twentieth century. His experiences and findings also provided background for the present work, which contains all manner of information on the oceanography, topography, nomenclature, hydrography, and other aspects of the Mediterranean and its coastlines. The accompanying letter, to a Mr. Wright, concerns the etymology of certain English place names. Signed by Author(s).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover. Francois Arago (1786-1853) was an important French astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, who was also a politician for republican causes. For some years before his death, Arago spent much time revising his large collection of manuscripts with a view toward their definitive publication. This work mainly consists of the course of Lectures on Astronomy which he delivered annually at the Observatory of Paris over eighteen years. Each of the volumes is organized into sections that the author calls books with several chapters on the subject of that book, resulting in a comprehensive discourse on astronomy and related fields. The text is accompanied by numerous plates and hundreds of wood engravings. Bound in original green cloth bindings. Volume I has been rebacked. Gilt author, title, and volume number to spine. Corners bumped but very good. Interior pages and plates are also in very good condition. A very handsome set of this significant work. Volume I: 707 pages; Volume II: 846 pages including index.
