Ex library blind stamp of the Carnegie Institution Mount Wilson Observatory, small ms. spine label. Fine. FIRST EDITION. The articles offered here are by some of the most respected educators in the United States during the nineteenth century. Joseph Lovering was Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy for fifty years at Harvard. Benjamin Pierce, who built his reputation on highly accurate computations of the general perturbations of Uranus and Neptune, was recognized as the leading mathematician in America. He was the Librarian of Harvard College from 1826 until his death. William C. Bond established the Observatory at Harvard and conducted observations there from its founding in 1939 and his death in 1859. His sons, William C. Bond, Jr. and George Bond worked with him at Cambridge; the latter succeeded the father as Director of the Observatory. Also included in this volume is a 76-page Eulogy on Dr. Nathaniel Bowditch (1773-1838) by John Pickering (1777-1846).

Bond became its first director; in 1847, it was equipped with a 15-inch (37.5-cm) telescope. With this instrument, Bond made extensive studies of sunspots, the Orion Nebula M42 and planet Saturn; in 1848, together with his son, George Phillips Bond, he discovered Saturn's moon Hyperion, at that time the 8th known moon of the ring planet (it was also independently discovered in the same year by William Lassell). William and George Bond were also the first in America to use Daguerre's photographic process for astrophotography: In the night of July 16-17, 1850, they worked with J.A. Whipple, a photographer associated with the Massachusetts General Hospital, to obtain the first Daguerreotype of a star, Vega, a 100 seconds exposure. Consequently, they obtained about 200 to 300 wet collodion plates of the moon, stars, and planets.» William Cranch Bond, né à Portland (Maine) le 9 septembre 1789 et mort à Cambridge (Massachusetts) le 29 janvier 1859, est un astronome américain. Bien qu'il n'ait jamais eu d'éducation formelle, il devient le premier directeur du Harvard College Observatory, où il étudie Saturne et explique la nébuleuse d'Andromède. En 1848 il découvre, avec son fils George Phillips Bond, Hypérion, un satellite de Saturne qui a la particularité de ressembler à une cacahuète. William Lassell fait indépendamment la même découverte. Le père et le fils sont des pionniers de l'astrophotographie, en prenant le premier daguerréotype de l'étoile Véga en 1850 ainsi que la première photographie de la Lune. Jules Verne le mentionne dans son roman De la Terre à la Lune .bon exemplaire .P1-3L.
