Rare 19th Century Observing Book Online

Hello members, I am very honored to announce the release of a book that has never been published. The book is handwritten by Charles Grover (1842 - 1921) and is the second volume of his personal observations that spanned 49 years, Volume One has been lost and never published.

The text and the amazing drawings can act as an example for aspiring amateur astronomers today showing how keeping a journal of your observations can make an incredible difference to the people around you and for those of future generations.

I have labored solidly for quite sometime now in association with Jerry Grover of England who is a great great grandson of Charles Grover and to him I am personally indebted beyond a level he will ever know. The book is free to read and I take pleasure in announcing it in the IIS forum and I commend it to all.

Please enjoy, “Drawings of the Sun, Moon and Planets observed by Charles Grover” Volume 2 beginning on December 21st, 1861, available here: http://www.antiquescopes.com/Vol2.aspx Please remember that this work is copyright protected and is made available for educational study only.
