There are many excellent books of that kind, suitable for serious students as well as the general reader; but they are necessarily somewhat dry and unattractive, because they must aim at completeness. Completeness means detail, and detail means dryness. But the science of astronomy contains subjects that admit of detached treatment; and as many of these are precisely the ones of greatest general interest, it has seemed well to select several, and describe them in language free from technicalities.

Excerpt from Studies in Spherical and Practical Astronomy A method of reduction which is the same for both types of level, and which is in most cases more convenient than the above, is as follows: In the square array of numbers which constitute the observed readings of the level, take the diagonal differences. The mean of the two diagonal differences is the inclination of the line in half divisions of the level. That end of the line is the higher which is ad jacent to the greatest single reading. If the level readings have been correctly made the two diagonal differences will be the same, and the reduction thus serves as a check upon the accuracy of the record. Thus, from the readings given above, we see at a glance that in the first case 2 half divisions and the readings have been correctly made. In the second case z half divisions and there is a discrepancy of div. In the readings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lectures on Practical Astronomy and Astronomical Instruments Elementary Treatise); and the process of taking observations with the Greenwich Reflex Zenith Tube. The treatment of these subjects has given to the work an extension much beyond what I at first contemplated, but at the same time its usefulness as an astronomical manual may be considered to be much increased by being thus made to exhibit with, a great degree of completeness the actual state of observational astronomy.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Astronomy: Descriptive, Physical and Practical, Designed for Schools, Colleges, and Private Students To give at once a. Clear explanation of the design and in tended character of this work, it is important to state that its author, in early life, imbibed quite a passion for astronomy, and, of course, he naturally sought the aid of books; but, in this field of research, he was really astonished to find how little substantial aid he could procure from that source, and not even to this day have his desires been gratified. Then, as now, books of great worth and high merit were to as found, but they did not meet the wants of a learner; the substantially good were too voluminous and mathematically abstruse to be much used by the humble pupil, and the less mathematical were too superficial and trifling to give satis faction to the real aspirant after astronomical knowledge.

Excerpt from The Amateur Astronomer It is Clear that itwould be an impossibility for' an investigator to carry on a survey of the whole, and to work in each of these separate fields. So much the more, then, will the student of the heavens, who only in leisure hours can occupy himself with these stirring studies, see the necessity of deciding in favour of one or other specific department. How great and general is the interest that astronomy holds for the widest circles, 15 shown by the large number of Popular Astronomy books that are constantly appearing in new editions.
