Book Description
Excerpt from The Indian Eclipse, 1898: Report of the Expeditions Organized by the British Astronomical Association to Observe the Total Solar Eclipse of 1898, January 22 The British Astronomical Association was founded in October 1890, with the following objects: - The association of observers, especially the possessors of small telescopes, for mutual help, and their organisation in the work of astronomical observation. This is effected by the "Observing Sections," under experienced Directors. The circulation of current astronomical information by a monthly journal and by the memoirs of the various Sections; the encouragement of a popular interest in Astronomy by the monthly meetings of the Association, held not only in London, but also at the seats of the Branches - Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sydney, and Melbourne. The Association now numbers considerably over eleven hundred members, and possesses an astronomical library and a large collection of astronomical lantern slides for loan to members; and an observatory for education and research will shortly be available. The following Report gives an account of the second expedition organised by the Association to observe an eclipse of the sun. Any profits resulting from its sale will be devoted to the aid of future similar expeditions, the next of which - namely, that to Portugal, Spain, Algeria, and the United States, to observe the eclipse of 1900, May 28 - is now being arranged for. The entrance fee to the Association is five shillings; the annual subscription is half a guinea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Total Solar Eclipse, 1900: Report of the Expeditions Organized by the British Astronomical Association to Observe the Total Solar Eclipse of 1900, May 28 The British Astronomical Association has been now sufficiently before the public for its methods and objects no longer to require detailed explanation. Founded in October, 1890, it now numbers nearly 1200 members, and its meetings are held month by month, not only in London, the headquarters of the Association, but also at the seats of the branches - Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sydney, and Melbourne. A sixth branch is now being opened at Birmingham. As its chief purpose has been the association of observers for mutual help, and their organization for the work of astronomical observation, its operations have not been confined to its "sections," dealing with the study of the sun, moon, planets, comets, meteors, etc., but have extended to the occasional phenomena of astronomy, amongst which total eclipses of the sun are the most striking and important. Three such events have happened since the Association was strong enough to attempt to deal with them, viz., the eclipses of 1896, August 9; of 1898, January 22; and of 1900, May 28. A large party proceeded under the auspices of the Association to Vadso, in Lapland, to observe the first of the three, but their efforts were entirely frustrated on this occasion by cloud. Two parties were organized to go to India, to observe the second, and were rewarded with complete success; and the results of their observations have appeared under the title of "The Indian Eclipse, 1898." The present volume is the report of the Association on the most recent of these three eclipses, which was observed by the members at a great number of different stations, in the United States, at sea, in Portugal, in Spain, and in Algeria. The meetings of the Association are held on the last Wednesday of each month, except July, August and September, at Sion College, Victoria Embankment, E. C. All enquiries should be made of the Assistant Secretary, 26, Martin's Lane, Cannon Street, E. C. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
