Abstract
THE ten lectures which form the basis of this volume were delivered as the Thomson Lectures for the session 1919–1920 in connexion with the United Free Church College, Aberdeen. They provide a survey-fairly up-to-date and in general accurate-of the present state of astronomical knowledge, in a form suitable for the non-scientific reader, so far as it is possible to do so without the introduction of mathematics or of mathematical reasoning.
