Synopsis

""An Epitome of Astronomy, with the New Discoveries: Including an Account of the Eidouranion or Transparent Orrery"" is a book written by William Walker and published in 1800. The book is a comprehensive guide to astronomy, covering topics such as the solar system, the stars, and the planets. It also includes information on the latest discoveries in the field of astronomy at the time of its publication. One of the highlights of the book is the detailed description of the Eidouranion, a transparent orrery that was invented by Joseph Wright of Derby. The Eidouranion was a revolutionary device that allowed people to see the movements of the planets and stars in real-time, and it quickly became popular among astronomers and amateur stargazers alike. Overall, ""An Epitome of Astronomy"" is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and the development of astronomical instruments.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
