Abstract
First Paragraph
On account of the Moon’s rapid motion both in right ascension and in declination, the computation of the times of the Moon’s rising and setting is apt to prove very laborious, since it cannot be done except by successive approximations. The object of this article is to explain a very rapid method to be used for this purpose. While it may be an old one, the writer’s reason for presenting it is that he has never found it in print.
