Abstract
THIS little book consists of three addresses given before the History of Science Society in joint session with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, together with a brief introduction by Sir Arthur Eddington and a bibliography of all the important works of Kepler. In “Kepler as an Astronomer”, Dr. W. C. Rufus gives a clear and concise account of his subject which adds point to Eddington's picture of Kepler as the forerunner of the modern theoretical physicist. This address also contains general biographical particulars, in addition to a description of his work as an astronomer.
