Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual of Astronomy a Text-Book
The present volume has been prepared in response to a rather pressing demand for a text-book intermediate between the author's Elements of Astronomy and his General Astronomy. The latter is found by many teachers to be too large for convenient use in the time at their disposal, while the former is not quite sufficiently extended for their purpose.
The material of the new book has naturally been derived largely from its predecessors; but everything has been carefully worked over, rearranged and rewritten where necessary, and changed and added to in order to bring it thoroughly up to date.
The writer is under great obligations to many persons who have assisted him in various ways, especially to Professor Anne S. Young, of the astronomical department in Mt. Holyoke College, who has carefully read and corrected all the proof. He is greatly indebted also to D. Appleton & Co. for permission to use illustrations from The Sun, to Warner Swasey for photographs of astronomical instruments, and to numerous other friends who have kindly furnished material for engravings.
