(Excerpt from Total Eclipses of the Sun, Vol. 1 The great...)
Excerpt from Total Eclipses of the Sun, Vol. 1 The great eclipse of 1842 marked the dawn of a golden age of physical research upon the Sun, and the conclusion of a half-century of significant research forms a fitting epoch for summarizing salient results in review. Advantage has been taken of this opportunity to present the attractive features of remote eclipses; and the connection of those in early, mediæval, and later centuries with contemporary history will, it is hoped, add new interest to astronomical events already widely celebrated. The abundant references have been critically verified in the libraries of Amherst College, of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston, of Harvard College Observatory, and in the Newberry Library, Chicago. Necessarily the ample illustrations have been chosen from a wide field. Particular attention is called to the collection of coronas of the different eclipses. Especial care has been bestowed upon the chart of eclipse tracks in the future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Todd was born Mabel Loomis in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
She graduated from Georgetown Seminary in Washington, District of Columbia, then studied music at the New England Conservatory in Boston.
She is remembered as the editor of posthumously published editions of Emily Dickinson. Mabel Loomis Todd had a passionate sexual nature and wrote freely about lieutenant Oh joy! Oh! Bliss unutterable" and "A little Heaven just after dinner." In May 1879, the day she got pregnant, she noted: "A very happy few minutes of love in our room."
She later had an affair with Austin Dickinson, the (married) brother of Emily.
According to Peter Gay"s book, as reviewed in Time Magazine of January 23, 1984, Todd kissed Austin Dickinson after he had died, kissed "the dear body, every inch of which I know and love so utterly." As described by Lyndall Gordon, the affair—romanticized by Todd descendants—actually devastated Sue Dickinson, the wife of Austin, and impacted the writing of Emily, who is said to have had to witness audibly the ongoing affair, and to have been routinely displaced from her place of creative work to provide it an ongoing venue.
Mabel Todd never met Emily Dickinson in person, and though the two women exchanged letters, it has been said that "Mabel effectively destroyed the Dickinson family". lieutenant is also fair to say that without Mabel Loomis Todd, Dickinson"s poetry would never have been published in book form and would never have reached a world-wide audience.
After Emily"s death in 1886, hundreds of her unpublished poems were discovered and Todd took to herself the task, with Dickinson family consent, to copy and organize the poems. The first volume of Poems by Emily Dickinson was published in 1890, and included many alterations by Todd and Thomas Wentworth Higginson.
Higginson collaborated with Todd on Poems: Second Series in 1891.
Higginson withdrew from further editorial collaboration so Todd edited a two volume set of Dickinson"s letters (1894) and Poems: Third Series (1896) on her own. In 1896, Todd and the Dickinson family had a falling-out over a legal battle regarding property owned by Austin Dickinson. As a result, Emily Dickinson"s manuscripts were split between the two families.
In 1945, Todd"s daughter Millicent published some of the poems from Todd"s portion of the manuscripts.
Mabel Loomis Todd died in Hog Island, Maine.
