A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

British Astronomical Association has been now sufficiently before the public for its methods and objects no longer to require detailed explanation. Founded in October, 1890, it now numbers nearly 1200 members, and its meetings are held month by month, not only in London, the headquarters of the A ssociation, but also at the seats of the branches Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sydney, and Melbourne. A sixth branch is now being opened at Birmingham. As its chief purpose has been the association of observers for mutual help, and their organization for the work of astronomical observation, its operations have not been confined to its sections, dealing with the study of the sun, moon, planets, comets, meteors, etc., but have extended to the occasional phenomena of astronomy, amongst which total eclipses of the sun are the most striking and important. Three such events have happened since the Association was strong enough to attempt to deal with them, viz., the eclipses of 1896, August 9; of 1898, January 22; and of 1900, May 28. A large party proceeded under the auspices of the Association to Vadso, in Lapland, to observe the first of the three, but their efforts were entirely frustrated on this occasion by cloud. Two parties were organized to go to I ndia, to observe the second, and were rewarded with complete success; and the results of their observations have appeared under the title ofT he Indian Eclipse, 1898. The present volume is the report of the Association on the most recent of these three eclipses, which was observed by the members at a great number of different stations, in the United States, at sea, in Portugal, inS pain, and in A lgeria. The meetings of the Association are held on the last Wednesday of each month, except July, August andS eptember, atS ion College, Victoria Embankment, E.G. All enquiries should be made of the Assistant Secretary, 2
