Synopsis
It has long been the custom at the Royal Institution of Great Britain to provide each Christmastide a course of Lectures specially addressed to a juvenile audience. On two occasions, namely, in 1881 and in 1S87, theM anagers entrusted this honourable duty to me. The second course was in the main a repetition of the first; and on my notes and recollections of both the present little volume Las been founded. I am indebted to my friends Rev. Maxwell Close, Mr. Arthur Rambaut, and Dr. John Todhuntkr for their kindness in reading the proofs. ROBERT S. BALL. Observatory, Co. Dublin, 22nd Oct,,

Book Description
This is the publication of Ball's popular Royal Institution Christmas Lectures from the 1880s. Aimed at young people, it covers the topics of the sun and moon, the planets, and comets and stars. This is an accessible work, very well received both when first published and long after Ball's death.
