196873791Pasadena California: California Institute of Technology 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Emil Herzog's set with his ink signature to the front flyleaf in the first volume. A pioneering work based on extensive research conducted at Caltech and Palomar Observatory. While the delineation of the clusters on the 48-inch Palomar Schmidt plates was Zwicky's work all the measurements of the tens of thousands of individual galaxies were Herzog's: photographing each field with the 18-inch Palomar Schmidt measuring coordinates and preparing finding charts. In addition he determined the apparent magnitudes of the brighter galaxies by schraffier guided plates and a flyspanker. For the fainter objects where the schraffier images were too washed out to be manageable he found that his nearsightedness made schraffier images unnecessary. His familiarity with the 48-inch Schmidt plates led him to be one of the first to be aware of the character of the large-scale distribution of galaxies. Later the Swiss-born Herzog 1917-98 taught astronomy at the University of Southern California and mathematics at Cal Poly Pomona serving as department chair from 1974 to 1980. Quarto six volumes. Original blue buckram bindings with gilt titles. Mild fading to the spines with a small spot to the front board of the first volume; otherwise a very good set.

19788522bdNew York: Charles Scribner’s Sons 1978. Quarto black cloth & gray boards hardcover red letters bottom edge red 602 pp. Fine in a Fine mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Now available in one volume for the first time the highly acclaimed American Military Equipage 1851 - 1872 is a handsomely illustrated solidly researched reference work that describes what the American soldier sailor and marine wore and carried during a signal period in U. S. History. Any study of the military dress and equipment of the Civil War must necessarily include the ten years prior to the conflict since it was in those years that the basic styles evolved as well as the several years following the war when the vast stocks of clothing and accouterments on hand were still being worn. Yet the period 1851 - 1872 has a validity all its own and witnessed trends in dress and armament quite distinct from the years on either side; its terminal dates are important signposts in the history of American military uniform arms and equipment -- far more so than the beginning and end of the Civil War itself.
