Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook of Descriptive and Practical Astronomy, Vol. 1: The Sun, Planets, and Comets
The last edition having reached to nearly 1000 pages it became quite clear that the now necessary additions would have swelled the work to a bulk and consequent price which probably the Public would not have regarded with favour. Accordingly when its division into two volumes became a necessity, I deter mined to make the two into three, and to complete the under taking as originally conceived twenty-nine years ago.
