The Moon - A Full Description and Map of its Principal Physical Features by Thomas Gwyn Elger
page 4 of 235 (01%)
"Celestial Objects for Common Telescopes," and in various periodicals, by
the late REV. PREBENDARY WEBB, to whom Selenography and Astronomy
generally owe so much, have also been consulted.

As a rule, all the more prominent and important features are described,
though very frequently interesting details are referred to which, from
their minuteness, could not be shown in the map. The measurements (given
in round numbers) are derived in most instances from NEISON'S (Nevill)
"Moon," though occasionally those in the introduction to Schmidt's chart
are adopted.
