A Century's Progress in Astronomy

Abstract

IN attempting to crowd an account of a century's progress in one of the most progressive of sciences (during the last century) into 238 pages of well-displayed print we fear that Mr. Macpherson has attempted too much in too little space. The volum will certainly be found useful for reference as an astronomical “Who's Who,” but we fear that the general reader will have but a hazy idea of the true meaning of the century's progress after perusing it.

A Century's Progress in Astronomy.
