HARDBOUND, 9x5.5", Index, most are around 3" thick, embossed cover, gold lettering on spine. Some plates and fold-outs. Each book is divided into sections : the basic business of the association, the "Reports on the State of Science," and the "Transactions of the Sections." Each issue has a sizable list of members at the back - I have not included these pages in the page count. All book titles follow this pattern "Report of the Forty-Seventh Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, held at Plymouth in August, 1877.
The "Reports" make up the bulk of the book and selected reports (2-35p. long) are listed below, primarily paleontology-, hydrology- and geology-related topics. The "Transactions" are short pieces generally half a page to a full page long (rarely, just the title) and I have listed a few of these. Very often a topic will appear in both reports and transactions. Both reports and transactions cover topics in all aspects of what was then current science - I have listed only a few of the individual topics and have usually abbreviated the titles. Much of what is covered in these books concerns ongoing projects, thus the same topic may be present in several books in a row even if I have listed it only for a few. Many of the titles include wording such as "Report of the committee, consisting of Mr. ... ... ..., appointed for the purpose of ... ... ..."
Not listed below : There are large sections on Meteorology (esp. Ben Nevis), tides, and anthropology and ethnology of the population of the British Isles. Also ongoing series on electrical experiments, development of research stations, effects of sun on dyes, measuring solar insolation, ground temperature, science in education and much more. Ships, sailing, navigation and steering. Sewage treatment. Rainfall records. Economic science and statistics.
Condition: Generally good/ very good : clean, bright, tight except as noted below. Some spines have the meeting number crayoned on. Covers have some soil with bumped corners and spine ends. Upper edge of page block darkened, other edges often a bit darkened or with minor soil.. Hinges may be very lightly shaken with cracked paper over the hinge inside. For a few, the page block may have a slight ripple - this is from the original binding, not from any damage. Title page darkened.
