Memorials of William Cranch Bond, Director of the Harvard College Observatory, 1840-1859, and of his son, George Phillips Bond, Director, 1859-1865 is a book written by Edward S. Holden and published in 1897. The book is a tribute to the lives and work of two prominent astronomers who served as directors of the Harvard College Observatory during the mid-19th century. William Cranch Bond was the first director of the observatory, serving from 1840 to 1859. He was known for his work in the field of astrophotography, and for discovering several comets and asteroids. His son, George Phillips Bond, succeeded him as director and served from 1859 to 1865. He continued his father's work in astrophotography and made important contributions to the study of Saturn's rings. The book includes biographical information about both men, as well as descriptions of their scientific achievements and contributions to the field of astronomy. It also includes a collection of letters, papers, and other documents related to their work at the observatory. Overall, Memorials of William Cranch Bond, Director of the Harvard College Observatory, 1840-1859, and of his son, George Phillips Bond, Director, 1859-1865 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and the early days of the Harvard College Observatory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
