Title: Geschichte und Litteratur der Geognosie, eine Versuch von Christian Keferstein.
Description: Halle, Johann Friedrich Lippert, 1840. 8vo (20.0 x 13.0 cm). xiv, 281 pp. Contemporary pebbled cloth. Gilt title on the spine. = Perhaps the first geological-mineralogical reference work, written by the German geologist Christian Keferstein (1784-1866) with much information on contemporary and earlier, often obscure, geological works and writers. Part of spine cover perished, cancelled stamps of a mining library on the front free endpaper verso and title page, a few light spots, otherwise a good clean copy. Strangely, not in Ward and Carozzi. Rare.
