Riassunto

Excerpt from Great Astronomers

IT has been my object in these pages to present the life of each astronomer in such detail as to enable the reader to realise in some degree the man's character and surroundings; and I have endeavoured to indicate-as clearly as circumstances would permit the main features of the discoveries by which he has become known.

There are many types of astronomers - from the star gazer who merely watches the heavens, to the abstract mathematician who merely works at his desk; it has, consequently, been necessary in the case of some lives to adopt a very different treatment from that which seemed suitable for others.
