Not only does the ex- cellent definition of the instrument show the lunar topography with remarkable clearness and fullness of detail, but the very fact that a terrestrial telescope does not invert the image as is the case with astronomical telescopes is of much satisfaction to a begin- ner. Our halftone engravings and our miniature key-map are pre- sented, therefore, "right-side-up, " in harmony with the view as observed in a terrestrial instrument and in conformity with the natural expectatio...ns of the eye.

As the sunshine dawns or dies away over plains and mountains, the objects near the edges of the advancing or receding light are brought into sharp relief. In the direct illumination which obtains when the moon is "full, " we can see little detail, for shad- ows are then largely absent.
