“Herschel and Cameron's Practical Astronomy”

Abstract

I RECEIVED not long ago by post a pamphlet bound, rather takingly, in red cloth wrapper, with gilt letter title, stamped largely diagonal-wise on the side; which title consisted of these words—“Herschel and Cameron's Practical Astronomy.” The title-page assigns the authorship to one “Alex. Mackenzie Cameron,” and adds “Revised throughout by Capt. John Herschel, R.E., in charge Astronomical Branch of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India.”
