Popular Books on Astronomy
Reading edition
By William Tyler Olcott
Excellently arranged, and copiously illustrated, these little manuals—real field-books—should prove valuable for all who want to become familiar with the stars
A Field Book of the Stars
16mo. With Fifty Diagrams.
To facilitate the fascinating recreation of star-gazing the author has designed this field-book. All matters of a technical or theoretical nature have been omitted. Only what the reader can observe with the naked eye or with an opera-glass have been included in it. Simplicity and brevity have been aimed at, the main idea being that whatever is bulky or verbose is a hindrance rather than a help when one is engaged in the observation of the heavens.
