Abstract
THIS little book has three chapters dealing with comets and meteors, the fixed stars, and cosmogony respectively. This restriction of subjects enables each to be treated pretty fully, in spite of the small size of the volume. The information is brought up-to-date, and includes recent comets, the Giant and Dwarf theory, and a discussion of the planetesimal theory. The star-maps give the positions of all stars of magnitude 5 or brighter down to south Decl. 45°.
