Upper right corner dampstained mostly on the first page and here only slightly touching a few letters. <br/><br/><em>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. </em> unknown

See also: Megan Nourcia "X Marks the Spot: Women Writers Map the Empire for British Children 1790-1895" pp. 33-34. A tiny bit of wear to the top of the front joint occasional trivial marginal stains or the faintest of browning but still a fine copy clean and fresh internally with brightly colored plates in a well-preserved lustrous binding.<br/> <br/> Attractively bound and enhanced with excellent contemporary hand coloring this charming introduction to geography aimed at young readers contains numerous plates depicting the traditional dress of cultures from around the world. Beginning in London and spreading to almost every corner of Western Europe the book then guides us to Asia Africa and finally to the Americas ending in Tierra del Fuego. First published in 1817 "A Geographical Present" was the author's most successful work. There is little known about the life of Mary Anne Venning but according to Megan Nourcia the present work "had a broad circulation launching her career as a scientific writer and establishing her authority as an educator of the young." Nourcia also notes that "Venning's texts were marketed as educational aids of keepsake quality"; as we see here the attractive binding and lovely hand-colored plates add an element of luxury to this pedagogical work and the fine condition of our copy suggests that it was carefully looked after by its presumably young previous owners.
