‎TYNDALL John‎

‎The Glaciers of the Alps. Being a Narrative of Excursions and Ascents, an Account of the Origin and Phenomena of Glaciers, and an Exposition of the Physical Principles. New [Second] Edition. [With Prefatory Note by Mrs. Tyndall]. SECOND EDITION IN FULL MOROCCO‎

‎8vo., Second Edition, with frontispiece (original tissue guard present), coloured plate and 60 wood-engraved illustrations (a number full-page) in the text, a few relevant pencilled marginal annotations in a neat scholarly hand; handsomely bound in navy full crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame borders, back with raised bands ruled in gilt, second and fourth compartments lettered in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, uncut, an elegant copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. With 2pp publisher's catalogue bound in at end. Dedicated to Faraday, Tyndall's classic account was first published in 1860. This revised edition, sanctioned by his widow and issued three years after his death, includes minor textual corrections and a much improved index. Equally notable both as scientist and mountaineer, Tyndall transformed his scientific interest in mountains into a keen appreciation of their beauty and pleasures. His most famous climb is probably the first ascent of the Weisshorn, but he was also a contender for the first ascent of the Matterhorn. In July 1862 (with Johann Bennen) he reached the main shoulder, only to be defeated by a deep cleft. Neate 836.‎
