Abstract
AN interesting book is this, and one full of information. In ten chapters and 250 pages M. Flammarion traces the history of astronomy from Copernicus to Newton, with special reference to the life of the former and the development of his system. There is little doubt that this work will be as well received as others by the same writer, and it really deserves the favour.
Copernic et la Découverte du Système du Monde.
