Library of online astronomy books
Library introduction
This page makes available online versions of various old astronomy books.
It does not attempt to catalogue or index those available elsewhere, but I have included
some links to pages that do.
What's new
This site is new, although the first book in the library was made available online back in April 1995.
The latest addition is
James Nasmyth and James Carpenter The Moon (1874)
- subtitled -- considered as a planet, a world, and a satellite --
- This work is well known for its many detailed illustrations.
Future attractions
A number of books are awaiting conversion, below gives a small sample of the most interesting.
A Popular History of Astronomy during the Nineteenth Century by A. Clerke
The Midnight Sky by E. Dunkin
