Abstract
THIS is a valuable addition to the existing text-books of astronomy for the use of those who intend to study the subject seriously. It has much in common with the same author's larger work on “General Astronomy”(see NATURE, vol xxxix. p. 386), but we are assured that it is not merely an abridgment, but has been worked over with special reference to a high-school course. It is assumed that the students have mastered the ordinary elementary subjects, and are acquainted with elementary algebra and geometry.
