Download or read book Ecce Clum written by E. F. Burr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ecce Clum: Or Parish Astronomy; In Six Lectures The title page of Ecce Coelum' is the poorest page in the book. We have seen nothing since the days of Dr. Chalmer's Astronomical Discourses equal in their kind to these six simple lectures. By an imagination which is truly contagious the writer lifts us above the earth and causes us to wander for a time among the stars. The most abstruse truths he succeeds in translating into popular forms. Science is with him less a study than a poem, less a poem than a form of devotion. The writer who can convert the Calculus into a fairy story, as Dr. Burr has done, may fairly hope that no theme can thwart the solving power of his imagination. An enthusiast in science, he is also an earnest Christian at heart. He makes no attempt to recon cile science and religion, but writes as with a charming ignor ance that any one had ever been so absurdly irrational as to Imagine that they were ever at variance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Astronomical Discovery The chapters correspond approximately to a series of six lectures delivered at the University of Chicago in August 1904, at the hospitable invitation of President Harper.
