NY 1872 (date on title page) The 2nd American edition translated from the 2nd German edition. 455 pages with table of contents and table of illustrations. With 100s of profuse illustrations of astronomical instruments and folding plates of spectra. With two color plates of flares from the sun.

The pages and plates are in VG condition except several leaves in the appendix have chips in the borders but not into the print and one chart of the sun's flares has a small chip in the border and one fold is partly separated. This is a legal discard from the Cincinnati Public Library. I had one of the heads of the "Friends of the Library" connected to the rare book department sign a statement that it's a legal discard which is included in the sale.
