Originally published in 1891, this book makes for thoroughly useful reading for all students of spherical and practical astronomy. It provides a very useful introduction to the subject, and aims to present its first principles in an elementary and practical form. Many old works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this text is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the subject.
