Abstract

Proctor on the Moon
October 23, 1873 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "The Moon: Her Motions, Aspect, Scenery, and Physical Condition," by Richard A. Proctor. The author of this work is perhaps the most prolific writer of the day on scientific subjects. That Proctor's works are not in every respect what monographs of the kind ought to be, follows necessarily from the simple fact that it is impossible for any one person to do all the reading, study, and examination necessary to know completely all that has been done in any one department during the time that he devotes to the preparation of a book, and, at the same time, to collate the material and prepare the book.
