Abstract
THERE is no more interesting chapter in science than that which deals with our great central luminary. Its story has been gradually gaining in interest since the first application of the telescope to its study by Galileo, and since the advent of the spectroscope our knowledge of solar phenomena has advanced by leaps and bounds. At the present time the scrutiny of the sun is more minute and continuous than ever, and the constant acquisition of fresh information sufficiently explains the need for additional works on the subject, or for new editions of old ones.
