From the Introduction: "As an instinctively religious being man is constitutionally concerned in the sublime science which more perhaps than any other department of physics has enabled him to look "through nature up to nature's God." If "an undevout astronomer is mad" the converse is at least measurably true: unastronomic piety is mad. For if science without devotion be defective because the spiritual is the necessary inspiration of the material devotion without science is also defective because the material is the necessary embodiment of the spiritual. Science without religion is a corpse; religion without science is a ghost." Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey & Co hardcover

1858170653Landport: Annett and Robinson 1858. First edition of Moon's account of the shipwreck and aftermath of the Osprey as a steward on the ship. This work is institutionally rare outside Australasia appearing in five libraries only. The Osprey was a part of the 1844 experimental squadron to test new technology on ships and was equipped with 12 guns instead of the usual 10. She was sent to New Zealand to assist the British in the Flagstaff War but arrived after the conflict had ended and was redirected north. The ship was wrecked on 11 March 1846 after mistaking the Herekino Heads for the entrance to the Hokianga River due to poor weather conditions. "The vessel stands upright on her keel in the sand and is but slightly injured the heel of the keel only being knocked away. The stores are being landed and the crew are assisted by 150 natives who are well disposed and behave very friendly and peaceably" The Times. The crew's lieutenant Octavius Benthall alongside four men attempted to sail in a pinnace to reach Hokianga. Unfortunately they never made it and their boat was discovered nine miles from their destination. The remaining crew lived in tents on the beach for about seven weeks helped by local Mori people. "A second smaller ship the Aurora was dispatched to provide assistance and succour to the crew of the Osprey though incredibly she met the same fate as the Osprey being driven ashore by mad winds after her anchor chain snapped. The Aurora came to rest alongside the wreck of the very ship she was meant to assist. Adding insult to injury and compounding the black humour of the situation there was nobody around when the Aurora made land as the Osprey crew had already left embarking on a gruelling sodden tramp over rugged country south to the Hokianga and then on to the Bay of Islands" New Zealand Herald. WorldCat locates copies outside of Australasia at the University of Oxford the University of California Los Angeles the University of Hawaii Butler University and Dartmouth College. Small octavo. With information slip on the author tipped in before title page. Original purple cloth.
