Astronomy in Five Books by Roger Long - 1742
This is the first of two volumes and contains the first two books. There are 68 folded plates within this volume. Roger Long did not live to complete the second volume, which was completed 40 years later by Richard Dunthorne and William Wales. Due to the time that lapsed between the two volumes it is not uncommon to only find the first volume.
