Astronomie

1867 · 021213 — Clarendon Press: 1867. 816 pages 224 illustrations. "Astronomy is not cultivated in this country either as a study or as a recreation to the extent that it is on the Continent of Europe and in America. I am not exactly prepared to say why this should be so but perhaps a clue can be found. There is a lack of works in the English language which are at one and the same time attractive to the general reader serviceable to the student and handy for purposes of reference to the professional Astronomer; in fact of works which are popular without being vapid and scientific without being unduly technical."
