Excerpt from The Catalogue of Stars of the British Association for the Advancement of Science: Containing the Mean Right Ascensions and North Polar Distances of Eight Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy-Seven Fixed Stars, Reduced to January 1, 1850I.

It was constructed Upon a method somewhat different from preceding catalogues, and was moreover accompanied by new tables for facilitating the com putation of precession, aberration and nutation for every star inserted in the cata logue: an arrangement that has been found to be of great assistance and couve nience to the practical astronomer, and has led to a desire to see its principles more fully developed and extended.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
