Item description from seller

1st Separate Printing. (2), 48pp. Octavo. Bound in 19th century pebbled cloth. Binding a bit rubbed and soiled. A few pages browned from newspaper clippings. Numerous clippings tipped into the preliminaries of the book. Single illustration from another source tipped onto the front paste down. Very good. Originally published in the Month and Catholic Review. Father Perry was appointed to command the Kerguelen Expedition in 1874 and travelled to the island on the H.M.S. Volage. Many important astronomical observations were taken on the trip. Very Scarce, only six locations on Copac.
