Description

A reprint of the edition first published by the Royal Astronomical Society in 1923, this book traces the history of the Society during its first centenary. The idea of compiling the History was started some years before the centenary itself and the book details events and presents portraits of outstanding Society members who contributed to the history of the Society in a century which closed at a time when the Society was again in full vigour and growth after the difficult years of the Great War.
