Upper right corner dampstained mostly on the first page and here only slightly touching a few letters. First appearance of this importent paper in which Whewell gave crystallography a mathematical foundation."In a paper read before the Royal Society in 1824 Whewell according to Herbert Deas "laid the foundations of mathematical crystallography." His system for calculating the angles of planes of crystals assumed that crystals are aggregates of small rhomboids that can be thought to shrink below the level of possible measurement thus suggesting that crystals are latticelike. In 1825 Whewell visited Mohs in Germany. In 1828 the year in which Whewell became professor of mineralogy he published a revision of Mohs’s system of mineralogical classification."DSB. unknown

Pp. 147-236 a few textillustr.1 engraved plate and 2 large folded engraved maps a general representing the greater part of the world 42x93 cm and Chart of the British Isles drawn and engraved by J.& C. Walker. A small tear to world map. Clean and fine. First appearance of this classic pioneering paper on the investigation of tidal phenomena. It is the first in a series of 16 papers Whewell made for the Royal Society. It contains the first printed cotidal world-map."Whewell took over the subject of mapping cotidal lines from Lubbock with entusiasm.He exercised the pioneer's privilege of coining new words and phrases appropriate to his subject. Many failed to stick some phrases of Whewell's origin still occasionally used are: 'age of the tides' 'luni-tidal interval' 'semi-menstrual inequality' etc etc.Whewell's initial cotidal map for the world ocean was presented in his first paper of 1833 the paper offered. By his own admission it was entirely preliminary and tentative what nowadays might be called a "strawman" to stimulate discussionm. He later 1836 suggested smll modifications especially near the coast of North America; these were incorporated in an 'improved' world map by G.B. Airy in his celebrated tratise on "Tides and wave" Cartwright in "Tides. A Scientific History" pp.110-112. unknown
