The American Ephemeris And Nautical Almanac For The Year 1904 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac for the Year 1856 The theoretical department of the work has been placed under the special direction of Professor Benjamin Peirce, LL.D., and most of the calculations have passed under his final revision. It is due to the memory of the late Nathaniel Bowditch, LL.D., the illustrious commentator of La Place, to say, that his zeal in enriching the library of the University at Cambridge, that of the American Acad emy of Arts and Sciences, and his private library, still preserved and accessible to students, with the best works in astronomical science, and his influence in promoting and diffusing in America a love for this branch of knowledge, have greatly facilitated the labor of preparing the American Ephemeris for publication in its present form.
