Quotes by William Tyler Olcott (?)

“Location.—The star α in Aries, known as Hamal, and sometimes as Arietis, a star of the second magnitude, is about 7° south of α Trianguli. A line drawn from the Pole Star to γ Andromedæ, and prolonged about 20°, ends at Hamal.”
― William Tyler Olcott, A Field Book of the Stars
