Abstract
THIS book is issued as one of the series of semi-centennial Publications of the University of California. We are informed in the introduction that “the object of this volume is to give a general account of our present knowledge of the binary stars, including such an exposition of the best observing methods and of approved methods of orbit computation as may make it a useful guide to those undertaking the investigation of these systems; and to present some conclusions based upon the author's own researches during the past twenty years.”
