Abstract
THREE A.M. and still at it! The amateur telescope maker is represented in the frontispiece of this homely and amusing but thoroughly practical symposium as entirely absorbed in the parabolising of his mirror. When the present exclusive craze for ‘wireless’ has moderated, those in search of a new hobby would do well to buy this book and read it.
Amateur Telescope Making.
