Présentation de l'éditeur
University of Michigan led me to the conclusion that the extensive treatises on the subject could not be used satisfactorily, except in special cases. Brief lecture notes were employed in preference. Arrangements were made with a local publisher that the notes should be written out in full and printed, almost exclusively it was supposed, for use in my own classes. The process of enlargement had just begun when the call to my present position was accepted. The completion of the manuscript in the midst of new and pressing duties was extremely difficult; the text and the details of the treatment lacked the harmony which can come only from a leisurely development of the subject. Nevertheless, the first edition has been used in a great many colleges and universities whose astronomical departments are of the highest character. This is my reason for carefully revising and slightly enlarging the book for a second edition. A word concerning the limitations of the book may not be out of place. The field of practical astronomy has become very extensive, embracing essentially all the work carried on in our astronomical observatories.
