The Great Star Map, Being of Brief General Account of the International Project Known as the Astrographic Chart (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Great Star Map, Being of Brief General Account of the International Project Known as the Astrographic Chart

The main portion of this little book appeared as a series of four articles in Science Progress, July 1910 to April 1911: and I am indebted to the Editors and Publisher of that Review for permission to reprint. I must further express my grateful acknowledgments to Mr. A. S. Eddington, Chief Assistant at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, for his very careful reading of the proof-sheets. An important criticism of his on one point of the argument is considered in Note XII, p. 155.
