Excerpt from With Lists of the Principal Telescopes, Observatories, Astronomical Societies, Periodicals and Books, and a Chronological Summary
Surely Tercentenary of the Telescope should not be allowed to go by without some attempt to place before the public a concise account of that epochmaking instrument! The following is such an attempt - the expansion of a paper read before the Astronomical Society of Wales. It is hoped that the carefully-compiled lists which have been added may be of interest, and possibly of use. I am greatly indebted to Mr. Denning for kindly looking over the proofs, and to Mr. J.M. Staniforth for the frontispiece.
