Care has been taken to secure accuracy in the text as well as in the examples, but a considerable number of errors have already been noted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book on Practical Astronomy The purpose of this volume is to furnish atext in Practical Astronomy especially adapted to the needs of civil-engineering students who can devote but little time to the subject, and who are not likely to take up advanced study of Astronomy. The text} deals chiefly with'the class of observations which can be made with surveying instruments, the methods applicable to astronomical and geodetic instruments being treated but briefly. It has been the author's intention to produce a book which is intermediate between the text-book written for the student of Astronomy or Geodesy and the short chapter on the subject generally given in text-books on Surveying. The subject has therefore been treated from the standpoint of the engineer, who is interested chiefly in obtaining results, and those refinements have been omitted which are beyond the requirements of the work which can be performed with the engineer's transit. This has led to the introduction of some rather crude mathematical processes, but it is hoped that these are presented in such a way as to aid the student in gaining a clearer conception of the prob lem without conveying wrong notions as to when such short-cut methods can properly be applied. The elementary principles have been treated rather elaborately but with a view to making these principles clear rather than to the introduction of refine ments. Much space has been devoted to the Measurement of Time because this subject seems to cause the student more difficulty than any other branch of Practical Astronomy. The attempt has been made to arrange the text so that it will be a convenient reference book for the engineer who is doing field work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Astronomy When we cast our eyes to the heavens on any clear and, by preference, moonless night, our attention is attracted by apparently in numerable points of light, of all degrees of brightness. These are the stars, which in all ages have drawn to themselves the attention of mankind. Mr. E. W. Maunder, in a previ ous volume of this series, has Shown how man's attention was first directed to the heavenly bodies, and how the mere recognition of the phases of the Moon, the varying positions of the planets and the seasonal changes Of the stars has developed stage by stage into the science of astronomy as we know it at the present day.

For many years it has been the author's duty to teach to students of engineering the elements of practical astronomy, and the experience thus acquired has gradually produced the unconventional views that find expression in the present text and which, to the author's mind, are justified by the following considerations: In the engineering curriculum, work in astronomy is a part of a course of technical and professional training of students who have no purpose to become astronomers. Under these circumstances it seems the duty of the instructor to select for presentation those parts of astronomical practice most closely related to the work of the future engineer and, with reference to the narrow limits of time allotted the subject, to keep in the background many collateral matters that are of primary interest and importance to the student of astronomy as a science.
