Notes

This set is a selection of slides from the list of 300 shown as the York Astronomy set (Lucerna ID 3000608).

The Riley, Lizars and Wrench catalogues use the title Astronomy lecture, while UKBHU, Wrench, Wood, Chapman, Tyler, Feathers and Ivens, as well as the Indispensable handbook, use The Solar System illustrated. The former title may be the original York title, but the latter was in use by at least 1888.
