Abstract
WITH the whole universe for its field of inquiry, astronomical physics is necessarily a very large subject, and an attempt to present its methods and results in a single volume of modest size can scarcely be expected to satisfy the requirements of all classes of readers. In some respects, however, the author of the book before us has achieved his task with distinct success. In the space of two hundred pages he has covered the whole range of astronomical physics from its beginnings to the most recent speculations in cosmo-o gony, and we have failed to notice any subject of importance which has not received some mention.
