Abstract
THIS excellent little handbook is written to serve as a practical guide for the use of beginners with the transit instrument. After a very slight amount of personal instruction, the learner will find a sufficient aid in this book, which gives ample directions for securing the best possible determinations of time. The notes are written in a thoroughly practical manner; the whole procedure to be adopted in setting up the instrument and in making and reducing the observations is explicitly set forth.
