Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This celestial compendium, a cornerstone in the development of astronomy, details the fundamentals of the field. Written by the Astronomer Royal, the Reverend Nevil Maskelyne, the book represents the culmination of centuries of study and observation. One of the most important texts in astronomy, it greatly advanced the understanding of the time and the stars, becoming a standard text for anyone studying astronomy in the 18th century or later. The book was an attempt at capturing all the knowledge of the heavens up until its release, and also to make this knowledge available to more than just other astronomers. The author accomplishes this and his work has continued to inspire and inform even into the 21st century. Groundbreaking at the time of its writing, this book laid the foundations of astronomy as we know it today, and is still studied today by those interested in the history of astronomical discovery.
