A MATHEMATICAL TREATISE ON THE MOTION OF PROJECTILES, founded chiefly on the Results of Experiments made with the Author's Chronograph (2 vols, 1873, 1881 - 'SUPPLEMENT TO.')

Vol.1:author list facing half-title (which is recto of f/piece), f/piece engr. of chronometer+xii+90+112 (mathematical tables of Coefficents of the Cubic Law of Resistance etc+19 small engravings on 2 pp.; Vol.2: pp.91-132+80 (further mathematical tables). Vol.1 has Glasgow dealer's very small label top outer corner of pastedown, small 'Military Science' science bottom outer corner, detached Glasgow University Library label slipped in here also, which has left quite innocuous ghost centre pastedown, the brown graphite endpaper pigment is slightly rubbed in places, very small erasable lib number top recto rear end-paper, otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked. Green blind-stamped cloth covers clean-and unmarked with only routine rubbing to joints and extremities, a horizontal chip to top spine has been very skillfully repaired; Vol.2 (which is 14 x 22 cms) has similar front pastedown condition as Vol.1 but lib. label remains attached and stamp has been blacked out, end-paper pigment darker than Vol.1, otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked, covers clean, bright, virtually unmarked and unworn bar some slight routine extremity rubbing, short chip to top front edge has been repaired, cloth a slightly different shade to Vol.1 and blind-stamping restricted to double border-line. Apparently remarkable scarce and this copy, despite a number of minor faults as described, remains in extremely good condition. Note: quoted non-UK shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range. .…
