When Edwin Dunkin (1821 1898) published this book in 1869, it was
received with widespread acclaim by both professional astronomers
and the reading public. Dunkin, a distinguished astronomer who
published widely in academic journals and later served in the
prestigious roles of Deputy Astronomer Royal (1881 1884) and
President of the Royal Astronomical Society (1880), is still best
known for this work of popular astronomy that has functioned as an
indispensable tool for generations of amateurs. Chapter 1 derives
from Dunkin's famous 'The Midnight Sky at London' articles,
previously published in Leisure Hour, which describe the London
midnight sky during each month of the year. Other chapters cover
the Southern Hemisphere, the constellations, the properties of
fixed stars, the solar system, and meteors and shooting stars. The
volume is well illustrated with star maps and engravings. It is a
classic work of popular nineteenth-century astronomical writing.
