THE STORY OF THE SUN. 



By Sir ROBERT BALL, F. R. S., 



Author of "AN 7 ATLAS OF ASTRONOMY,' ' THE CAUSE OF AN ICE Ar.E," etc. 



&vo. Cloth, $5.00. 



"A popular exposition of all our present knowledge with regard to the sun, set forth vividly, 

 clearly, and popularly. Easy reading, it has been said, means hard writing. It is not difficult 

 to imagine that there has been some hard writing in the book." London Graphic. 



" Sir Robert Ball has the happy gift of making abstruse problems intelligible to the ' wayfar- 

 ing man ' by the aid of simple language and a few diagrams. Science moves so fast that there was 

 room for a volume which should enlighten the general reader on the present state of knowledge 

 about solar phenomena, and that place the present treatise admirably fills." London Chronicle. 



" As a specimen of the publisher's art it is superb. It is printed on paper which entices 

 the reader to make marginal notes of reference to other books in his library, the type is large, 

 the binding is excellent, and the volume is neither too large nor too small to handle without 

 fatigue." A r ew York Herald. 



"All in all, this work is most complete and satisfactory. It fills a want which has been felt 

 by many persons, and fills it acceptably." New York Times. 



"Like the author's previous works, it is almost entirely devoid of mathematics, while reveal- 

 ing in every page the hand of the master of his science. Instead, it presents in a beautifully 

 clear and logical form the results of the labors of astronomers, mathematicians, and physicists in 

 their discoveries of the character, size, movements, and power of the great ruler of the day."
