The Reminiscences of an Astronomer
Publisher Description
The fascinating autobiography of Canadian-American astronomer and mathematician Simon Newcomb. The earlier chapters of this collection are so much in the nature of an autobiography that the author has long shrunk from the idea of allowing them to see the light during his lifetime. His repugnance has been overcome by very warm expressions on the subject uttered by valued friends to whom they were shown, and by a desire that some at least who knew him in youth should be able to read what he has written.
