The pith of astronomy <without mathematics>; the latest facts and figures as developed by the giant telescopes;
A popular astronomy primer written without mathematics by banker-author Samuel G. Bayne and published by Harper & Brothers in New York in 1896 for general American readers following news from the large refracting telescopes. Its plates are white-on-black halftones and engravings of nebulae, star clouds and spiral forms, plus a ruled meteor-radiant chart with straight streak lines across labelled constellations.
