NOT A MODERN REPRINT! THIS IS THE SCARCE FIRST ENGLISH EDITION!
Just as pictured.
Beyond the limits of our solar system we behold none but self-luminous bodies. No Frauenhofer's refractor, no gigantic telescope of a Herschel or a Rosse, shall ever be able to discover for us, whether or not there exist amid the countless hosts of the starry heavens, dark celestial bodies, in addition to those resplendent suns.' (p. 379) `Though we may not be able to discover those hypothetical dark bodies by means of the influence exerted upon them by luminous orbs to which they belong, there is a plain contrary possibility of our being able to ascertain there presence by means of the influence they themselves exert upon those shining orbs.' (p. 382) -- from Chapter V. Astronomical investigations and results, sec. 12. Dark bodies in the heavens of the fixed stars, p. 379-87.
527 pages, Dark brown almost black cloth with gold/gilt title on spine, bumped, rubbed, chipped, pages foxed, ffeps some writing, some marking along margins otherwise tight and clean.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING;)
