Abstract
THIS book is very well illustrated; it contains reproductions of photographs and drawings of Halleys and other comets, made at the principal observatories, also photographs of sunspots arid the corona, and a large coloured drawing of a solar prominence. A considerable part of the text is taken up with quotations from the writings of well-known astronomers; some of the passages quoted were, however, written before the recent advances in atomic physics, and are now somewhat out-of-date.
