Hardcover bound in original green cloth with cover designs in black and with titles in gilt. The binding is worn but sound. Some splitting to the cloth at the right corner of the headcap on the front hinge. The binding is a bit dusty and soiled from handling. Inner hinges secure, and the text block is sound. Endpapers foxed, and the title and frontis are quite foxed. The text is generally clean. SIGNED at the top of the title page, "Mary F. Thomas." This appears to be Mary F. Thomas (1818-1888) the American physician, abolitionist, and Women's Rights leader. She would doubtless have held interest in Caroline Herschel (1750-1848), the German astronomer who discovered several comets. She was also the sister of William Herschel, with whom she worked. A scarce book with a nice association..*****************************************We Always Accept Returns if the Item Does Not Match the Description.
