Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac for the Year 1881 In the present volume ten fundamental time-stars have been added to the list, to fill gaps; the right ascensions of the time-stars have been corrected from a new investigation; and the declinations of the whole list are from a paper by Mr. Lewis Boss, now in press. No other important change has been made. Extensive changes are however to be made in the volume for the year 1882, including a considerable extension of the star list for the use of field observers. An account of the data employed in the preparation will be found in the Appendix. A supplement contains tables for finding the latitude of a place by altitudes of the pole-star.
