Abstract
IN this little book Mrs. Hawkins brings together a very useful amount of information which is admirably suited to be serviceable as a general source of reference to those not well acquainted with astronomical terms. The information is arranged alphabetically, and under each heading is a brief explanation or description. The catchwords are printed in heavy type, so that they are at once conspicuous when turning over the leaves. The text has been brought well up to date, and an appendix gives, among other information, a list of useful astronomical books.
