Description: Cosmos: A Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe. Alexander Humboldt. No date, but certainly late 1800s or very early 1900s. Harper and Bros. VOL 2 (encompasses vols 3,4 and 5) Cosmoswas considered to be both a scientific and literary achievement, immensely popular among nineteenth-century readers. Although the book bore the daunting subtitle of A Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe, and had an index that ran to more than 1,000 pages, the first volume sold out in two months, the work was translated into all major languages and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Condition: Acceptable. Crack at hinge, see photos. Ex libris sticker and a library sticker indicating this book was on the U.S.S. Charleston. Interesting! A price and a few numbers pencilled in front. Binding is otherwise OK. Lovingly packed and shipped via USPS Media Mail. Make offers on multiple books to get a great discount!
