About This Item
New Yok: Huntington and Savage, 1848. New Edition. Hardcover with paper rather than cloth. Very Good. The Sun, Moon, planets, and "fixed stars" as known in the early 19th century, explained in about 200 pages, one of several textbooks published by Huntington and Savage. A separate publication of 16 colored maps was sold separately and is not part of this offering.
Aside from an owners name and school written in ink on an otherwise black half-title, hte book is unmarked and barely foxed. The front cover is scratched and slichtly soiled but still entirely readable. Pages are all there and tight. There is a long section of ads for other Huntington and Savage textbooks in the final pages and also a bdly faded list of the textbooks on the back cover
