Errata in Weisse's Planetary Tables. 



same may be remarked of Bagay's Tables *, by far the cheapest 

 and best volume of the sort which ever appeared; and as to 

 Weisse's Planetary Tablesf, we much doubt if two copies 

 have as yet reached England. The compendious nature and 

 simplicity of these tables are such as to recommend them 

 especially to the notice of every astronomer, but their merits 

 in these respects are counterbalanced a by indistinct type and 

 numerous errors, of which no corrections are furnished by the 

 author. To supply this deficiency, and with a hope that a cor- 

 rect reprint of this convenient little book may either be un- 

 dertaken here or introduced from the continent, a list is sub- 

 joined of all the errata in the more valuable parts of the work, 

 detected by a complete and systematic examination.

 sines, cosines, tangents and cotangents in this work, are to every second, 

 and, both in form and size, much more commodious than those of Taylor.
