Its an old star atlas. There's others, like Flamsteed's and the New General Catalog (stuff in it is identified with the starting letters NGC) and Burnhams, and more.

I was gonna be a smart ass and say that it was something that you used to be able to order astronomy supplies out of before the Internet came along.
