Fireside Astronomy

Abstract

“THE articles which go to make up this little book originally appeared in the ‘English Mechanic and World of Science,’ and caused some discussion therein.” This we read in the preface of the book before us, and we are further told there that this “simple worded treatise” is intended for the “man in the street.”

Fireside Astronomy.

By D. W. Horner. Pp. 105. (London: Witherby and Co., 1904.) Price 1s. 6d. net.
