Spherical Astronomy (Classic Reprint)

University of Michigan asP rofessor of Astronomy I felt very much the want of a book written in theE nglish language, to which I might refer the students attending my lectures, and it seems that the same want was felt by other Professors, as I heard very frequently the wish expressed, that I should publish anE nglish Edition of myS pherical A stronomy, and thus relieve this want at least for one important branch of A stronomy. However while I was in America I never found leisure to undertake this translation, although the arrangements for it were made with the Publishers already at the time of the publication of theS econd German Edition. In the mean time an excellent translation of a part of the book was published in England by the Rev. R. Main; but still it seemed to me desirable to have the entire work translated, especially as theS econd Edition had been considerably enlarged.
