Essays on the Floating-Matter of the Air in relation to Putrefaction and Infection

Beschreibung

London, Longmans, Green, 1881 [first edition thus]. Octavo, xx, 338, [2] (publisher's advertisements) pages with 20 illustrations. Blind-stamped cloth slightly rubbed at the extremities, lightly sun-tanned on the spine and a little flecked on the sides; uncut edges lightly discoloured; an excellent copy with the contemporary blind-stamp of the Adelaide booksellers Rigby on the front free endpaper and the early pencil signature (twice) of one Francis Davison. John Tyndall (1820-1893) 'ranks as one of Ireland's most successful scientists and educators' (Tyndall National Institute). The 10-page introductory note by the author contains informative bibliographical and historical material (not least, that this book is the first edition in book form of essays originally published in the 'Philosophical Transactions' of the Royal Society, and elsewhere).
