Abstract
ONE of the most serious defects in astronomical literature is the lack of any authoritative and up-to-date English text-book on astrophysics. The need for such a book is widely felt. This book is not a text-book and it does not deal with all branches of astrophysics, but it partly fills the gap. That it has met a real need is shown by the fact that the present edition is the third reprint since it was first published in 1943. In this reprint various additions have been made to bring the book up to date.
