Abstract
THIS book, which was dedicated to the celebration of Christian Doppler's hundredth birthday, has reached a third edition. It is written in the form of a conversation among men of various professions meeting socially together every day with the intention of conveying in popular language many astronomical ideas. “To the end of the Universe” is the subject of a dream which one of the members of this convivial party, Carpenter by name and astronomer by profession, had dreamt, and the narrative is his account of this dream to his companions, subject, of course, to many interruptions by one or other of them seeking more information or more detailed explanation.
