Abstract
PROF. BRUHAT has used a course of lectures given at the Sorbonne in 1930 as the basis of this book, but has eliminated to a great extent the mathematical treatment of his subject in order to reach a wider circle of readers. All who possess an elementary knowledge of physical sciences will find the book an interesting, clear, and up-to-date account of the present state of our knowledge of the sun, as well as of the instruments and methods used in attaining that knowledge. A considerable amount of this matter is not to be found in any English works of a similar nature, but the historical accounts are occasionally inadequate or even definitely misleading.
