Synopsis

""A Cycle of Celestial Objects: Observed, Reduced and Discussed"" is a book written by William Henry Smyth and first published in 1881. The book is a collection of Smyth's observations of various celestial objects, including stars, nebulae, and galaxies, as well as his discussions on their properties and characteristics. Smyth was a renowned astronomer and naval officer who made significant contributions to the field of astronomy in the 19th century. The book is divided into several sections, each detailing Smyth's observations of a particular celestial object or group of objects. The observations are accompanied by detailed charts and diagrams, as well as Smyth's commentary on the objects' positions, movements, and other relevant information. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy, as well as for modern astronomers looking to study the observations and theories of one of the field's most respected pioneers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
