Special characters: This file uses a number of special characters, which may not display in your browser or font. Some, such as Greek letters and special symbols to denote planets, occur infrequently and a transliteration is given with a mouse-hover like this: ♆. However, the following mathematical symbols occur often:

× − ± ½ ¼ ⅓ ⁄ ′ ″.

If these do not display, you may prefer to use a plain text version of this ebook.

Printer errors: Obvious typographical errors in the original have been corrected in this version, and are marked with mouse-hovers like this. However, the inconsistent spelling of Ottawa/Ottowa, and the inconsistent use of comma or full-stop as thousands separator has been left as in the original. The value given for the eccentricity of Uranus may also be a printer error.
