DSB VI, p.327. FIRST EDITION AND PRESENTATION COPY of Herschel's atlas containing 5079 nebulae and clusters. Our copy is inscribed to Henry Chamberlain Russell (1836-1907), Australian astronomer and meteorologist and fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. Russell was director of the Sydney Observatory from 1862. He made important observations and measurements of double stars and corresponded closely with John Herschel on astronomical and meteorological subjects. In Sept. 1881, Russell read a paper before the Royal Society of N.S.W. titled "New Double Stars, and Measures of Some of Those found by Sir John Herschel" and one year later, his catalogue on double stars was published by the Sydney Observatory. (see A. James, Southern Astronomical Delights, 2012). - Visit our website for additional images and information.
