18594to, original buff wrappers with all the ads, as issued. Seldom seen in such good and original condition. BURTON and SPEKE's DISCOVERY OF THE NILE SOURCES with TWO of the best MAPS of the time! This is the September and December 1859 issue of the pre-eminent Geographical Journal published in Germany containing one of the first reports of the Burton/Speke Expedition. This publication pre-dates both Burton's and Speke's respective books which did not appear until the 1860's. On this expedition which was sponsored by the Royal Geographical Society, Richard F. Burton traveled with John Hanning Speke - on their second journey together - in order to find the Mountains of the Moon and shed some more light on the Sources of the Nile. They made a brief examination of Lake Tanganyika, but with failing health they were forced to return to Kazeh to recuperate. Following this, Burton sent Speke off by himself to investigate a large lake north of their camp. Speke reached this lake after a few days marches and found its altitude to be much higher than the surrounding country. Hence, even without being able to prove his claim because all his instruments were lost or broken, Speke became convinced that this was the source of the Nile; a conclusion disputed by Burton which led to their falling out and, probably, Speke's mysterious death in 1864. The Nile debate raged on for the next 15 years and as it turns out Speke was indeed correct. This however was not conclusively proven until late in the 1870's when Henry Morton Stanley marched around Lake Victoria and brought an end to all speculation.
1838[On the Use of the Transit Instruments for the Determination of Geographical Positions. For use by Officers of the State in Russia, by F.G.W. Struve] Translation of Struve's German work into French, by Alexandre Schyanoff. 4to. vi, 93 pages, plus 3 folding plates and single leaf errata. Bound in green continental paper boards with gilt titled label to spine. Near fine condition and very crisp. An early treatise on the transit telescope, consisting of detailed theory and instruction for use of the apparatus, as set forth by renowned astronomer Struve while he was teaching at the Dorpat observatory in Estonia. With 3 diagrams for illustration. This is the original French translation - expanded and augmented with new material - of a separately printed pamphlet by Struve, published in German Language in St. Petersburg 1833. This french edition evidences formulae corrections by the author and also a new comparisons beween transit instruments devised and built by Troughton and by Ertel. A fascinating work revealing scientific advance in the making of instruments which would revolutionize navigation. Quite rare as COPAC only finds 15 copies in Libraries Worldwide.
18863 reports in one issue, altogether 45 pages. Plus a fold-out graph. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The three authors outline methods and intricacies in the surveying of unknown regions and vastly unique terrains, while also elucidating their contemporaries to customs and law in Indian territories in which great potential is seen for the British Empire. Barron expounds on the complex system of proprietary and cultivating tenures, claimed by decendants of ancient lineage, conquerors of the latter, village headmen fighting for hereditary rights, farmers and servants of the State, each ultimately contributing to a most profitbale source of revenue for the Indian Government.
18798 pages. Plus a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 8.25 x 9 inches (21 x 23cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a fascinating expedition report on the Malay Archipelago, specifically the Cocos or Keeling Islands, accompanied by a visually appealing and valuable fold out colour map for illustration. Charles Darwin formulated a theory of the origin of coral reefs, This report mentions Darwin's theories and observations frequently, and is an excellent example of how early and how widely Darwin's work and theories were accepted by all his peers regardless of the apparent controversy he stirred up.
19028vo. 6 pages, plus 2 large folding diagrams. A rare separate offprint printed for the Royal Geographical Society. Publisher's blue titled wrappers, string-tied and bearing the society's crest. Some light foxing, otherwise in very good and original condition. The results from these observations were crucial in providing confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity, which Albert Einstein had proposed in 1916. The author, a respected astronomer and well-known authority on comets, renders praise to the primary research and calculations of Major S.C.N. Grant in 1896, which forms the basis for his dissertation. With meticulous and detailed instruction Crommelin presents a simplified method to predict and decipher the instantaneous and momentary occultation of stars. He further introduces the application to the Solar Eclipse phenomenon. Exceedingly rare dissertation by an important nineteenth century astronomer. Six years prior to Crommelin's study, Grant published a six page report and illustration, titled "Diagram for Determining the Parallaxes in Declination and Right Ascension of a Heavenly Body, and its Application to the Prediction of Occultations." Crommelin was famed for his computations of cometary orbits. He took part in expeditions to observe total solar eclipses in 1896, 1900, 1905, 1912, and 1927. In 1919 he participated in the solar eclipse expedition to Brazil which aimed to determine the amount of the deflection of light caused by the gravitational field of the Sun.
193730 pages, including sketch illustrations. Plus two black and white plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. An important report on the scientific investigation of the transport of sand by wind, providing valuable information with ample mathematical equations and data charts. During his expeditions into the Libyan Desert, Bagnold had been fascinated by the shapes of the sand dunes, and after returning to England he built a wind tunnel and conducted the experiments which are the basis of this report. Bagnold made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of desert structures such as sand dunes, ripples and sheets. He developed the dimensionless Bagnold number and Bagnold formula for characterizing sand flow. He also proposed a model for singing sands and made contributions to the science of sedimentology.
188123 pages, including an in-text illustration of Sangai. Plus a fold-out sketch diagram. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Twenty-three years after his triumphant and disastrous conquest of the Matterhorn, Whymper turned his attention to the soaring Andes peaks of Ecuador. This expedition was designed primarily to collect data for the study of mountain sickness and of the physical effects of altitude. The summits of Chimborazo (20,948 feet) and six other mountains between 15,000 and 20,000 feet were reached for the first time. A night was spent on the top of Cotopaxi (19,613 feet), and the features of that great volcano were studied. In his valuable report, Whymper includes a data table of temperatures and heights of mountain summits of Chimborazo, Corazon, Cotopaxi, Sincholagua, Antisana, Pichincha, Cayambe, Sara-urcu, Cotocachi, and Carihuairazo. From the wider points of view of the geographer, the geologist, and traveller, Whymper brought home much valuable material. This illuminating account pre-dates the author's book, "Travels Amongst the Great Andes of the Equator" published in 1891. Accompanied by a sketch diagram, illustrating the northern part of Mr. Whypmer's travels.
1892Original Memorial Fund Prospectus printed in 1892, single leaf, single sided, measuring approximately 5 x 6 inches (12.5 x 15cm), in very good condition. It contains a list of contributors' names, among them include highly acclaimed explorers and naturalists such as Douglas W. Freshfield, Francis Galton, Sir Joseph Hooker, Admiral Sir McClintock, E.A. Petherick, Baron von Richthofen, H.M. Stanley, Joseph Thomson, A.R. Wallace, E. Whymper, as well as Mrs. Darwin. Bates spent over 11 years in the Amazon area, and formed a most impressive enormous collection of over 14,000 insects, which occupied scientists for years in classifying them. He went to South America with Alfred Russell Wallace and the two journeyed together for a time. Darwin encouraged him to write and publish his work. In Darwin's words: Bates is only excelled by Humboldt in his description of the tropical forest. His observations and speculations contributed to Darwin's theory of evolution, making Bates a crucial figure in the annals of history.
