Abstract
WHETHER the author of this small volume thought that the sequence of the subjects dealt with was really quite unimportant, or whether no order at all was intended, puzzled me considerably when glancing through these pages for the first time. To be suddenly led off without a word of warning into “L'infini dans le temps et dans l'espace,” and then to be as suddenly pulled back again to a second chapter dealing with Sirius seems rather a large oscillation to commence with. The same remarks might apply to the next chapters, for they treat consecutively of “The Cluster in Hercules,” “Structure of the Visible Universe,” “Movement in the Universe,” and “The Nebula of Orion,” followed up by chapters on “The Age of Stars,” and “The End of the Solar System.”
