Abstract
A NEW edition of this useful atlas and astronomical handbook has been published. The maps are clearly printed on a scale of 8° to the inch, and they include stars down to the sixth magnitude, with many fainter objects of interest. The letterpress contains an explanation of all ordinary astronomical terms and much information on both the solar and the stellar systems, together with hints on the use and care of the telescope. There is a clear lunar map, with the names of the principal formations.
