Description:
Acomb, York: Moses B Cotsworth, 1905. No dustwrapper, some bumping to spine ends and corners, and wear to the edges of green boards, but with no loss to the gilt titles and illustrations thereon. An oddly-sized book, measuring 9.5 inches high by 4 across. No publication date shown, but would be about 1905. The author was an advocate of calendar reform, and suggests changing to a thirteen-month year with months of twenty-eight days. He bases this on the idea that the ancient Egyptians, using the pyramids as some sort of giant sundial, also used a similar calendar. Also some mention of pyramids in central America and the Aztec calendar as well as standing stones and other prehistoric remains in Britain. 473pp, 180 b&w illustrations.. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
