Good. Not Issued with a Dust Jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 444 pages, illustrated. "Being a narrative of excursions and ascents in, an account of the origin and phenomena of glaciers, and an exposition of the physical principles to which they are related." "The book is divided into Two Parts: the first chiefly narrative, and the second chiefly scientific. In Part I, I have sought to convey some notion of the life of an Alpine explorer, and of the means by which his knowledge is acquired. In Part II, an attempt is made to classify such knowledge, and to refer the observed phenomena to their physical causes." GOOD HARDCOVER, original brown blind stamped covers, spine edge has faded, internally a nice clean and tight copy.
