Easy Star Lessons by Richard A Proctor ,1906 ,corner of rear blank
endpaper lost,otherwise in nice condition, 239 pages.

Superb old astronomy book,with some fabulous star maps. Richard
Proctor is best remembered for having produced one of the earliest
maps of Mars in 1867 from 27 drawings by the English observer William
Rutter Dawes

His map was later superseded by those of Giovanni Schiaparelli and
Eugène Antoniadi and his nomenclature was dropped (for instance, his
"Kaiser Sea" became Syrtis Major).
