Abstract
IN the work the title of which is printed below, Dr. Otto Dziobek seeks to develop the theory of the motion of bodies subject to attraction, according to Newton's law. The author, in his preface, draws attention to the objectionable practice of the majority of writers of the present day, of treating the subject so briefly that many students scarcely get beyond Kepler's laws in their knowledge of the theory of the solar system. He has therefore prepared a work which is intended not only as an introduction to the study of this branch of astronomy but especially for those desiring an acquaintance with the higher productions of the masters in this science.
