✦ Synopsis

The 4ooth anniversary of the death of Copernicus and the publication of his great work, "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium," are being commemorated this year with impressive programs. The Franklin Institute celebration will be centered in the splendid facilities of the Fels Planetarium, in May. Our library possesses copies of both the first (1543) and second (I566) editions of "De Revolutionibus," and they will be displayed.

As a source book for the programs of the occasion, there has recently appeared a very attractive book by the Secretary and Executive Director of the Kosciuszko Foundation.

In it, the life-story of Copernicus, his Polish antecedents, and much background material concerning Polish culture have been compressed in very fine form. The many fine illustrations contribute their share in making this book a necessity for anyone at all interested in astronomy, the history of science, or Poland.

A special numbered edition, bound in boards, is also available at a somewhat higher price.
