Synopsis
Excerpt from Popular Lectures on Astronomy: Delivered at the Royal Observatory of Paris
The publishers of the present volume, being aware that errors of a more or less important kind, must, under such circumstances, have prevailed in the original Belgian edition, and still more in the English translation, and that omissions and chasms must have required to be filled up by some person conversant with the science, and capable of writing upon it in a clear and familiar style, applied to Dr. Lardner, and induced him to revise the reported Lectures, and to add to them such topics as might appear desirable to give them increased utility. The result of this arrangement has been the present volume.
