    4to. xiv, [2], 372 pp. Engraved frontispiece, 18 folding engraved plates, 2 folding engr. maps, 1 explanatory folding plate. Early quarter vellum, maroon straight-grain morocco gilt-stamped spine label, small (and old) gilt ownership stamp on spine, mauve paper over boards, vellum tips, soiled covers. Laid in: postcard addressed to Signor Guilue [or possibly: Frederic(!)] Waller, Milano 16, 52 Corso Magenta [Italy]. Very good. First published in 1760 as Die Eisgebirge des Schweizerlandes (3 vols.) and here translated from the German, by Louis-Felix Guynement de Keralio, translator. Johann Ludwig Aberli (1723-1786), illustrator. This work is the first concerted effort to systematically describe in detail the snowy mountains of Switzerland. The author made the first maps of minerals found in Switzerland and published the first mineralogy of Switzerland. Gruner became known as a geologist. In 1760 he published a three-volume work on mountains and glaciers in Switzerland. This work is comprised of three parts: the first two, based on earlier authorities, includes a detailed description of the Swiss Alps. Gruner includes "contemporary" information received from his numerous correspondents. The final part is more specifically about glaciers and their various properties. His reports on the Swiss mountains are based less on his own travels than on stories by others and on older literature. Though in many respects imperfect, Gruner's book sums up all that was known on the subject in his day, and forms the starting-point for later writers. The illustrations are very curious and interesting. Plate XIII is the oldest known panoramic view of Mont-Blanc.
