Présentation de l'éditeur
Story of theS tars told of far distant suns, many of them probably with planets revolving around them, I have in the present volume, which is a companion to the former one, to treat of theS un in particular ourS un as we may call him and the body of attendants which own his sway by revolving round him. The attendants are the planets, commonly so called, together with a certain number of comets. I shall deal with all these objects rather from a descriptive and practical than from a speculative or essay point of view, and with special reference to the convenience and opportunities of persons possessing, or having access to, what may be called popular telescopes telescopes say of from two to four inches of aperture, and costing any sum between 10 and 50. There is much pleasure and profit to be got out of telescopes of this type, always presuming that they are used by persons possessed of patience and perseverance.
