(London, Taylor and Francis, 1864). 4to.

He examined spectroscopically the chemical constitution of stars and comets, and the gaseous nature of planetary and diffuse nebulae" he applied the Doppler Principle to the measurement of the radial velocities of stars, and published an atlas of representative stellar spectra" (Ripley: Source Book in Astronomy).…
