in mind when he was writing this book?
The history of astronomy thus becomes inseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due. In the
ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of
astronomy has been created. We shall commence with Ptolemy, who, after the foundations of the science had been laid by Hipparchus,
gave to astronomy the form in which it was taught throughout the Middle Ages. We shall next see the mighty revolution in our conceptions
of the universe which are associated with the name of Copernicus. We then pass to those periods illumined by the genius of Galileo and
Newton, and afterwards we shall trace the careers of other more recent discoverers, by whose Industry and genlus the boundaries of
human knowledge have been so greatly extended. Our history will be brought down late enough to include some of the illustrious
astronomers who laboured in the generation which has just passed away.
