Full Leather. Condition: Very Good+. Fourth Edition. Three volume set. Octavo. Vol I: The Sun, Planets, and Comets. xxxi 676pp. Vol II: Instruments and Practical Astronomy. xix 558pp. Vol III: The Starry Heavens. xiii 384pp. Color plate in front of volume 1 of Encke's comet, 2 large fold-out color plates of an observatory design in rear of volume 2 (shows foxing) and many other plates, figures, and tables throughout the work some folding or with color. Bibliography, index. Prize binding, bound into full grey leather with red and orange spine labels and gilt lettering and emblems. Marble endpapers and page edges. Scratches to the front and back cover of volume one. Some spotting to the covers. Bindings remain firm. Chambers wrote the first edition of this work in 1861 when he was just 19. He wrote at a time when most books on astronomy were written either for children/beginners or experts in the field without many titles available for the educated layperson. First done in 1 volume, it was expanded over the years eventually running three volumes in this 4th edition. This was his most significant work, but he published other works on astronomy including "The Story of the Comets in 1909", a favorite topic, which anticipated the excitement around the return of the Halley's Comet in 1910. He also wrote tourist guidebooks for Eastbourne and Sussex, along with theological works and works for scientific journals. A leather bookplate in volume 1 indicates that this set was awarded for the Howard Quinquennial Prize, which was awarded to Robert Abbott Hadfield by the Institution of Civil Engineers for session 1901-1902. Hadfield was a metallurgist who developed the alloy of manganese steel, an alloy of exceptional durability that found uses in the construction of railroad rails and rock-crushing machinery (Britannica). Reference: Peter Johnson - George F. Chambers 1841-1915 Journal of the British Astronomical Association, vol.100, no.1, p.13-16.
