Book Description
Excerpt from The Recent Progress of Astronomy: Especially in the United States These observations are all permanently recorded by a simple touch of the finger upon a key which closes an electric circuit - a method recently introduced at Greenwich observatory, and known everywhere throughout Europe by the distinctive name of the American method. Numerous discoveries have been the result of this astronomical activity. A large number of comets have been independently discovered on this side of the Atlantic; and among these, three at least were observed here before they were seen in Europe. The two nebulae which have been longest and best known, were never adequately figured until they were observed by the Messrs. Bond; and the planet Saturn, which for many years was made the subject of special study by the elder Herschel, with his wonderful means of observation, first revealed to the Messrs. Bond a new ring and an eighth satellite. The novel spectacle of a comet divided into two nearly equal portions, was first witnessed in America; and an American observer has added one to the long list of planetary discoveries. Let us indulge the hope that the future progress of astronomy is to be no less brilliant than the past; and that henceforth America may be even more distinguished for her contributions to science, than for her progress in material power and wealth.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Recent Progrss of Astronomy: Especially in the United States This little volume is designed to exhibit in a popular form the most important astronomical discoveries of the past ten years. It does not profess even to enumerate all the discoveries of this period. Such an enumeration would have swelled the volume much beyond its present size. Those topics have been selected in which it was supposed the public generally would feel the deepest interest. The book was designed, not for astronomers, but for the public; and I have accordingly aimed to exhibit results in common language, as free as possible from technical terms. It is hoped that the book may be read with profit by those who have never made Astronomy a subject of special study; and that it may be found an appropriate supplement to the popular treatises on this science, most of which are very deficient in their notice of recent discoveries. It is hoped that the fourth chapter, which exhibits the progress of Astronomy in the United States, may be found to have a special interest for American readers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Recent Progrss of Astronomy: Especially in the United States I have endeavored to award equal and exact justice to all American astronomers; and if any individual should feel that his labors in this department have not been fairly rep resented, he is requested to furnish me in writing a minute account of the same, and I will endeavor to make amends in a second edition of the work.
