Excerpt from A Handbook of Descriptive Astronomy
The present edition extends to 961 pages as against 856 in the case of the last edition, but these figures quite fail to convey an idea of the amount of the new matter now given, because large type has been in many places replaced by small type and blank backs of Plates occupied by type, so that the net increase in the contents of the volume is not less than 200 pages.
I have to acknowledge a great amount of very useful advice and assistance from observers in all parts of the world, most of them total strangers to me, many of them being persons I had never heard of until the receipt of their letters. Indeed, the letters that I have received, especially from the United States of America, have been a very gratifying encouragement to me to persevere in improving this work in every possible way.
