Riassunto

Excerpt from Elements of Descriptive Astronomy: A Text-Book

The purely descriptive matter about the sun, moon, planets, etc., has been kept quite free from such statistics as the values Of the masses of the planets, and the intensity of the pull of gravitation at the surface Of each. The student should, however, learn the distance, diameter, time of revolution, and time of rotation of each planet. More extended data for purposes Of reference are to be found in the Appendices.

In this edition the results of the latest important investigations and discoveries have been stated. The work Of the Lick Observa tory, as set forth in the publications of the Astronomical Society Of the Pacific, merits and has received much attention. The columns of astronomical periodicals have furnished a large amount Of reliable information.' The author will welcome for a second edition any suggestions or corrections.
