Practical Astronomy
by P. S. Michie, F. S. Harlow - John Wiley & Sons
This volume is designed especially for the use of the cadets of the U. S. Military Academy, as a supplement to the course in General Astronomy. It is therefore limited to that branch of Practical Astronomy which relates to Field Work.
