A Brief Account of the Lick Observatory

Third Edition
1902




The Third Edition is dated July 1902 and was published in that same year by the State Printing Office in Sacramento. It was prepared for publication under the supervision of Lick Observatory's third Director, William W. Campbell.

The intention has been to reproduce this publication as faithfully as possible given the constraints and requirements of this electronic medium in its current state of development. Although every word of the original has been included, as well as all of the illustrations, this version should not be regarded as a facsimile of the original. For example, in the original, a number of the illustrations were placed so that the bottom was parallel to the binding. In that position, of course, they would be difficult to view with a Web browser. These images have been rotated through 90 degrees. In addition, neither the page color nor the typeface matches the original.
