reader. The great underlying facts and principles of astronomy are presented in a shape which any intelligent person can comprehend. The book may be used either for self-instruction or for schools. History of Astronomy By George Forbes, M.A., F.R.S., M.Inst.C.E. Formerly Professor of Natural Philosophy, Anderson's College, Glasgow _16mo. Adequately Illustrated._ _No. 1. A History of the Science Series_ The author traces the evolution of intellectual thought in the progress of astronomical discovery, recognizing the various points of view of the different ages, giving due credit even to the ancients. It has been necessary to curtail many parts of the history, to lay before the reader in unlimited space enough about each age to illustrate its tone and spirit, the ideals of the workers, the gradual addition of new points of view and of new means of investigation. An Easy Guide to the Constellations With a Miniature Atlas of the Stars By James Gall Author of "The People's Atlas of the Stars," etc. _New and Enlarged Edition, with 30 Maps 16mo._ This new edition of _An Easy Guide to the Constellations_ has been thoroughly revised: five additional plates have been added, so as to include all the constellations of the Zodiac, and render the book complete for Southern Europe and the United States. G.P. Putnam's Sons New York London The Destinies of the Stars By Svante Arrhenius Author of "Worlds in the Making," etc. _12mo. 26 Illustrations._ With keenness, brilliancy, and distinguished learning, Dr. Arrhenius, a Nobel Prize winner, having had occasion repeatedly to treat new questions of a cosmological nature, questions largely arisen from new discoveries and observations within the scope of astronomy, opens to the reader vast new vistas, through the study of the relation of the stars to the "Milky Way" and through observations of our neighbor planets.
