History of Astronomy
By George Forbes, M.A., F.R.S., M.Inst.C.E.
Formerly Professor of Natural Philosophy, Anderson's College, Glasgow
_16mo. Adequately Illustrated._
_No. 1. A History of the Science Series_
The author traces the evolution of intellectual thought in
the progress of astronomical discovery, recognizing the
various points of view of the different ages, giving due
credit even to the ancients. It has been necessary to
curtail many parts of the history, to lay before the reader
in unlimited space enough about each age to illustrate its
tone and spirit, the ideals of the workers, the gradual
addition of new points of view and of new means of
investigation.

By
Svante Arrhenius
Author of "Worlds in the Making," etc.
_12mo. 26 Illustrations._
With keenness, brilliancy, and distinguished learning, Dr.
Arrhenius, a Nobel Prize winner, having had occasion
repeatedly to treat new questions of a cosmological nature,
questions largely arisen from new discoveries and
observations within the scope of astronomy, opens to the
reader vast new vistas, through the study of the relation of
the stars to the "Milky Way" and through observations of our
neighbor planets.
