Abstract
THIS book is based on Dr. Abbot's previously published work, “The Earth and the Stars,” and its scope and general character are in the main identical with those of its prototype. Large sections of the earlier work have, in fact, been reproduced, with little or no alteration, so that the new volume is effectively a revised edition of the old. The revision involves a slight rearrangement of the material, with additions and amplifications (including charts showing the brightest stars of the constellations) and a removal of the errors and least satisfactory features of the original.
The Fundamentals of Astronomy.
By Prof. S. A. Mitchell Dr. C. G. Abbot. Pp. xi + 307). (London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1927. 15s. net.
