Excerpt from Practical Talks by an Astronomer
The present volume has not been designed as a systematic treatise on astronomy. There are many excellent books of that kind, suitable for serious students as well as the general reader; but they are necessarily somewhat dry and un attractive, because they must aim at complete ness. Completeness means detail, and detail means dryness.
