Excerpt from Meridian Observations for Stellar Parallax, Vol. 13: Second Series, 1898-1905; Part I

The observations whose constants and results for stellar parallax are presented in the present volume were conducted by the method of meridian transits, and are similar to those which were published in Vol. XI of the Publications of the Washburn Observatory except for a few changes in the conditions, the most important of which was the introduction of the registering transit micrometer. They were undertaken primarily to determine the annual parallax of stars of the second magnitude; but other stars were added to the list where the time intervals allowed.
