Excerpt from A Cycle of Celestial Objects: Observed, Reduced, and Discussed
The circumstances under which this edition appears arc somewhat peculiar, and need a little explanation. Admiral Smyth's original Cycle of Celestial Objects, published in two volumes in the year 1844, was a book which attained a world-wide renown, and therefore naturally it passed out of print within a few years of its publication. Towards the close of his long and distinguished career the Admiral made various arrangements for the issue of a second edition by a very experienced observer, connected with him by ties of a special character. In Mr. Isaac Fletcher the book would have had as Editor an experienced observer, whose name would have been thoroughly acceptable to the astronomical world. Mr. Fletcher accepted the duty that was cast upon him, and during several years systematically collected materials for the revision of the work. In his hands, however, it made no great amount of progress, because in the year 1868 he exchanged in great part his scientific career for a political one by becoming Member of Parliament for Cockermonth. This had the not unnatural effect of hindering both observatory and literary work. Finally, his lamented death in 1879 put an end for the while to the prospect of any new edition of the Cycle being published under the supervision of the original Anthor's relatives or immediate friends.
It is no matter of concern to the public bow it came about that the surviving representatives of Admiral Smyth eventually charged me with the interesting but serious responsibility of publishing a new edition of the book.
