Two volumes. pp. vii, 776; xxxii, 332. Includes a great many technical drawings. 8vo. 240 mm. Original cloth bindings, decorated in blind and lettered in gilt. Non-uniform. Hardbound. Very Good. NOTE: Early embossed ownership of Montgomery Cunningham Meigs (1816-1892) a career U.S. Army officer and civil engineer, who served as Quartermaster General of the Union Army during and after the American Civil War. Despite his Southern birth, Meigs strongly opposed secession and remained loyal to the Union; his record as Quartermaster General was regarded as outstanding, both in effectiveness and in ethical probity, and Secretary of State William H. Seward viewed it as a key factor in the Union victory. The ownership stamp highlights his favorite pre-war engineering project - the Washington Aqueduct (1852-1860). He supervised the construction of the monumental Union Arch Bridge across Cabin John Creek, designed by Alfred Rives, which for 50 years remained the longest single-span masonry arch in the world. It also mentions his service (1853-1859) supervising the building of the wings and dome of the United States Capitol. A remarkable record of 19th Century American invention and ingenuity, in an example associated with one of the most important figures of the Civil War era. BOX 66 Basement

Two years later he named them anaerobic or zymics contrasting to aerobic which only lived in the presence of free oxygen."In 1861 he turned his attention to the butyric fermentation and made another importent discovery viz. that this fermentation proceeds in the absence of oxygen. In the fermented material he found cylindrical rods which he showed were the cause of the fermentation. Following the nomenclature and ideas of the time he regarded them as animal in character and named them Vibrio." Bullock "The History of Bacteriology" p. 61. </em> unknown
