A Treatise on Astronomy is a comprehensive guide to the science of astronomy, written by Elias Loomis and originally published in 1880. The book covers a wide range of topics related to astronomy, including the history of the discipline, the principles of celestial mechanics, the properties of the solar system, and the nature of stars and galaxies.The first part of the book provides an overview of the history of astronomy, including the contributions of ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Egyptians, as well as more recent developments in the field. Loomis also discusses the various instruments and techniques used by astronomers to observe the heavens, including telescopes and spectroscopes.The second part of the book focuses on celestial mechanics, which is the study of the motions of celestial bodies such as planets, moons, and comets. Loomis explains the laws of motion and gravitation that govern these motions, and shows how they can be used to predict the positions of celestial bodies at any given time.The third part of the book delves into the properties of the solar system, including the structure of the sun, the orbits of the planets, and the properties of asteroids and comets. Loomis also discusses the various theories that have been proposed to explain the formation and evolution of the solar system.The final part of the book explores the nature of stars and galaxies, including their properties, classification, and evolution. Loomis also discusses the various methods used by astronomers to study these objects, including spectroscopy and photometry.Overall, A Treatise on Astronomy is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the science of astronomy, written in a clear and accessible style. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the wonders of the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Elias Loomis (1811-1889), Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at the University of the City of New York, published the third edition of this key work in 1856, at a time when the discipline of astronomy was making rapid advances. Recent technological progress had led to a phenomenal number of astronomical discoveries: the existence of a new planet, Neptune; a new satellite and ring for Saturn; irregularities in the movement of many planets and stars; thirty-six new asteroids; numerous comets; extensive catalogues of stars; and new and important observations on the sun. Loomis' report is a treasure-trove of information regarding these discoveries and the significance they had at the time. The chapters on the history of American observatories, various astronomical expeditions, public astronomical surveys, and telescope manufacturing in the USA provide access to information not otherwise available. Recent Progress is a key text in the history of astronomy.
