Excerpt from Determination of Stellar ParallaxIt was originally planned that all the observations should be made by the writer, but in the autumn of I904 he was disabled by serious illness, and Mr. Hinks very kindly undertook their continuance. Upon the writer's recovery, his term as a research assistant had practically expired and he received a call to America for the following year. It was then arranged that Mr. Hinks should complete the photographic work (for which he and the writer are therefore jointly responsible in nearly equal proportions - 43 per cent being done by the former and 57 per cent by the latter).The methods of observation and measurement, detailed in Chapter I so far as they contain anything new - are also the result of collaboration between Mr. Hinks and the writer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
