Hello again, just expanding on the posts below a little further, I would love to purchase (or borrow to scan images contained therein), any books on telescope manufacture or books dealing with astronomy in a broader sense that may touch on the construction of the telescope and possibly refer to the people or companies that manufactured them.

Basically I am researching 19th century telescope manufacturers, however books written later and or revised later that carry appropriate references are also of interest.

If you have your own private library I respect that you might not want to sell a single book however you may consider either scanning the images of the telescope manufacturers and sending them to me via e-mail or arrange for me to collect them or receive them under stringent security protocols so that I can scan them.

In the second instance, I would fully accredit you for assisting in the research which all goes towards my 19th century catalogue, and is a not for profit, non commercial, educational website only, please take a look at the telescope listing at:

and my People Listing at:

Thank you for reading this far and if anyone would like to discuss any aspects of my research further, please PM me for a quick reply. Most respectfully yours.
