Hardcover. Condition: Poor. Hardcover. Volume two only. Marbled paper over boards with tan cloth on spine. About two inches of board is missing from upper corner of front cover. Corners otherwise are quite bumped, revealing boards beneath. Front hinge is splitting, but binding is holding securely for now. Title page dated 1740 in Roman numerals. 312 pages, with index. Light tidelines and some wrinkling to pages throughout -- not so much to affect the clarity of the text, but certainly noticeable. Previous owner's bookplate on front attached endpaper, as well as blue rubber library stamps to first few pages. Translated into English from the original French. A scarce English edition in any condition, Pluche's "History of the Heavens" was a slightly more controversial publication than his more famous "Spectacle de la nature", but nonetheless an interesting and valuable work of historical philosophy. Please email with any questions or to request a few photos.
