Excerpt from The Sun and the Phenomena of Its Atmosphere

The following pages contain the substance of a lecture delivered at New Haven last January before the Yale Scientific Club. In its preparation for the press however considerable alteration and addition has been necessary, as the original delivery was mainly extemporaneous, and interspersed with numerous experimental illustrations, which cannot be reproduced in the printed form.

It is of course impossible to include within such limits anything like a complete statement of our present knowledge concerning the sun: for this, one must have recourse to such works as Proc tor's Sun or Secchi's Le Soleil. The new German edition of the latter book, revised and edited by Dr. Schellen, is especially to be commended as a most complete and admirable exhibition of the present state of Solar Science, and it is greatly to be hoped that it may soon appear in an English dress.
