The "A Manual of" part was not printed on the spine. My copy has a page following the title page but before the preface which states that "the following pages [the entire book!] are printed from the stereotype plates of the Appendix to the author's Manual of Spherical and Practical Astronomy, without any change in the numbering of the pages or of the tables." I am not quite sure what this means... I am glad to hear that there is a Dover reprint. It is a great book! Dan
