To the Moon!
In honor of the lunar landing which took place this week in 1969, we’ve dug out some goodies on the moon from our collection.
- The distances of the moon, the planets, and the sun, deduced theoretically (1886)
- Observations on the influence of the moon on climate, and the animal economy : with a proper method of treating diseases, when under the power of that luminary (1798)
- An appendix to my new system of fire and planetary life : shewing that the sun and moon are inhabited, and that they enjoy the same temperament as our earth (1798)
- The book of almanacs, with and index by which the almanac may be found for every year up to A.D. 2000. With means of finding the day of any new or full moon from B.C. 2000 to A.D. 2000 (1907)
