WILD, H[einrich] [1833-1902].

folio. pp. 35. 1 p.l., 35. 2 plates (1 folding). original cloth (bit faded). First Edition. The author, professor of physics and directory of the observatory at the University of Bern, was invited in 1868 to join the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg and to become director of its Central Astrophysical Observatory. In 1876 he founded the magnetometeorological observatory at Pavlovsk and remained its director until 1895. "Wild was an active meteorologist who played a major part in the development of the science in the latter half of the nineteenth century. He improved several instruments, including the anemograph, anemometer, atmometers, barometer, rain gauges, thermograph, several forms of theodolite, instruments for measurement of terrestrial magnetism, polarization photometer, and polaristrobometer. His modifications of these instruments significantly improved techniques for weather observation. He also was directly responsible for significantly extending the network of meteorological observation stations - almost as many in Switzerland as in Russia." (DSB)
