BY THE GREATEST AMERICAN AUTHORITY 



Astronomy for Everybody 



By Simon New comb, LL.D. 



\ FASCINATING presentation of the scientific astron- 

 ■*■ *■ omy as it stands to-day. As absorbing as a story, and 

 yet as authoritative as such a book can be. In the whole 

 history of astronomy there never has been before a writer 

 who combined the elements of great knowledge and author- 

 ity with so masterly and interesting a style. As a writer on 

 science he stands for illuminating and attractive style as well 

 as complete knowledge, beside Humboldt, Darwin, Tyndall, 

 and Huxley. He is a great writer as well as a great astron- 

 omer. There is no other book that fills the place that this 

 one does, for it gives all the general reader cares to know 

 about astronomy, and is unsurpassed in the simplicity and 

 charm and readableness of its style. 



PUBLIC OPINION says : 



"There are many sufficient reasons for placing 'Astronomy for Every- 

 body' at the head of all books of the same class."
