Astronomy -- History
The importance of this work is twofold. In the first place, it sums
up the teaching of one of Darwin's greatest successors, who has been
for many years a leader in biological progress. As Professor Weismann
has from time to time during the last quarter of a century frankly
altered some of his positions, this deliberate summing up of his
mature conclusions is very valuable. In the second place, as the
volumes discuss all the chief problems of organic evolution, they
form a reliable guide to the whole subject, and may be regarded as
furnishing--what is much needed--a Text-book of Evolution Theory.

[1] The inferior planet Venus comes closer, but is not visible throughout
the night.
[2] The facts were collected with great care and ability by S. P. Rigaud,
and published by the Oxford University Press in 1832 as "Miscellaneous
Works and Correspondence of the Rev. James Bradley."
[3] Since the light must travel from the sun to Saturn _and back again to
the earth_, the interval would be more nearly 150 minutes.
