Rese�a del editor

It has been my aim to strike a mean between the larger and more difficult technical books and the extremely simple ones which weary us with accounts of children walking round tables and oranges. The book is the outcome of the notes which I have used in teaching Astronomy to Junior Forms in a Public School, where experience has shown me that many boys will follow up the subject, read for themselves, and enjoy practical work, when once they have been given a start. I have tried to preserve a fair proportion between the purely descriptive matter and the account of the more difficult subject of celestial motions. A clear appreciation of the movements of the bodies on the Celestial Sphere is essential to even a most trifling knowledge of A stronomy; but I believe that most of the difficulties will be removed if the reader takes the trouble to make a model as described inC hapter X, and carefully follows out the practical exercises. Although no particular Examination Syllabus has been followed, I believe that the book will be useful for several elementary examinations, such as that of theB oy Scouts.
