Large number of historic texts - Hathi Trust

I happened across https://www.hathitrust.org/ and searched for items in the catalog containing the word "astronomy".

I have spent the last hour or so enjoying portions of https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nyp.33433090906904

Introduction to practical astronomy, 1841. Author: Mason, Ebenezer Porter, 1819-1840.

 

There appear to be articles dating back to the early 1700s. Other sites such as this exist, I thought this may be of interest to someone.

Another little treat, Sir J. F. W. Herschel's observation of "Mr. Sixth"... (May 4th, 1837)

I've been using books from the Hatti Trust for a while, an excellent resource.
