Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Small octavo. Pp. xii, 13-127. Half-title, dedication leaf, preface. With text figures. Appendices. Original errata slip tipped-in onto the appropriate place. Original publisher's printed stiff wrappers, spine frayed. In a very good condition, fine interior. ~ FIRST EDITION. Most uncommon in this issue of original publisher's printed wrappers and including the practically always missing errata-slip. Charles Piazzi Smyth (1819-1900) was astronomer-royal for Scotland, professor of practical astronomy at the University of Edinburgh, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh. He was heavily influenced by pyramid theorist John Taylor who theorized that the Great Pyramid was planned and the building supervised by the biblical Noah. Refused a grant by the Royal Society, Smyth went on an expedition to Egypt in order to accurately measure every surface, dimension, and aspect of the Great Pyramid. He subsequently published his book "Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid" (1864). He claimed that the measurements he obtained from the Great Pyramid of Giza indicated a unit of length, the pyramid inch, a God-given measure handed down through the centuries from the time of Israel. His conclusion was that the architects of the pyramid could only have been directed by the hand of God. ~ [Provenance:] With inscription and contemporary bookplate of Norfolk & Norwich Library on cover. Beinlich-Seeber 18874, quoting the book unseen. [NOTE: We offer also the FIRST EDITION, in original binding, of Smyth' "A Poor Man's Photography at the Great Pyramid in the Year 1865"]. M-2.
