Astronomy Simplified

Abstract

THE object of this book is, as the author states, β€œto extend a knowledge of the sublimest of the sciences,” and he intentionally reminds the reader many times throughout the pages that while man is striving to find out the laws which govern the behaviour of matter in space, there is a greater Power who not only created the laws, but formed matter and space.

Astronomy Simplified.

By Rev. Alex. C. Henderson. (London: James Clarke and Co., 1913.)
