MILNER, Thomas, 1808-1882 : THE GALLERY OF NATURE: A PICTORIAL AND DESCRIPTIVE TOUR THROUGH CREATION, ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE WONDERS OF ASTRONOMY, PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, AND GEOLOGY. London : for the Proprietors by William S. Orr & Co., 1846. First edition. The Reverend Milner with a hugely popular Victorian exploration of the wonders of the physical world. Originally published in parts 1844-1846 – “a well-written and profusely illustrated serial, beautifully printed, and so cheap that, even in these days of cheap literature, it excites surprise how so much can be given for so little money. It is work that ought to be in the library of every Mechanics’ Institute, Artizans’ Society, or Athenaeum in the kingdom: it deserves the most widely-extended sale that is possible; and nothing but that can adequately reward those who have embarked in the undertaking” (Leicester Chronicle, 8th February 1845). £200 Currently on display at Bryars & Bryars in central London, please enquire about availability – books@ashrare.com |
