Reseña del editor

Elements of Astronomy rather too extended and mathematical to suit their course and pupils. It is based upon theE lements, but with many condensations, simplifications, and changes of arrangement: everything has been carefully worked over and rewritten in order to adapt it to those whose mathematical attainments are not sufficient to enable them to use the larger work to advantage. Of course, such pupils cannot gain the same insight into the mechanism of the heavens as those who take up the subject at a more advanced stage in their education. They must often be contented with the bare statement of a fact without any explanation of the manner in which its truth is established, and thus will necessarily miss much that is most valuable in the discipline to be derived from the study of A stronomy. But enough remains surely there is no other science which, apart from all questions of How or Why, supplies so much to widen the students range of thought and to make him comprehend his place in the infinite universe.
