Description:
Holland Press, London, new edition, 1964. 2 vols in 3, Cloth-backed boards, large 8vo, complete set of 2 volumes in 3 books. xxiv, vii, 858 + vii, [1], 858- 1727 + lxxxix, 2225 pp. Approximately 42,500 entries. This is the scarce, best edition of Houzeau & Lancaster's classic bibliography on early astronomy and astrology. The first edition of their work was published in various parts between 1880 and 1889 with miscellaneous supplementary material. This 1965 edition reproduces the entire bibliographical content of the original edition, plus the 310 page Introduction to the History of Astronomy (which are both in French), and vastly increases its usefulness by providing an author index together with new editorial material, all of which is added in English, including an introduction explaining the arrangement of the bibliography and a list of errata. This attractive Holland Press edition is scarce and much sought after. (A later reprint of the first edition is in much smaller format and less…

Description:
Astronomy Books, Bernardston/Martino Publishing, Mansfield, 2001 reprint of 1890 first edition.. Reprint limited to 75 copies. Cloth, leather spine-label, 4to,. viii, 499 pp. From the publisher's description "This almost impossible to find catalogue [ie the 1890 edition] describes about 10,000 books on astronomy. Included are books from the earliest period up until the date of publication. The catalogue contains substantial collations with plates-counts for many citations. There are also 18 cross-referenced subject headings. The library of Charles Babbage forms the core of this magnificent collection, which is especially strong in all areas related to comets. This extremely rare catalogue has never been reprinted. Almost all extant copies of the original are very brittle due to the paper used for printing. The catalogue is an alphabetical one, arranged chiefly according to the authors' names. Immediately following the author is title, number of volumes, number of plates, maps, etc.,…
