A complete list of Agnes Clerke’s papers it would be difficult to compile. They were, in truth, innumerable. Her articles on astronomers for the Dictionary of National Biography—out of the sixty-six volumes which constitute this great work there are only eleven to which she did not contribute,—articles for the Encyclopædia Britannica, and for other encyclopædias were many, and all of them were models of painstaking inquiry and of clear, concise statement. The more important of these, that on Laplace in the Encyclopædia Britannica, for instance, are of lasting interest and value.
Her larger works are:—
History of Astronomy in the Nineteenth Century (4 editions).
The System of the Stars.
The Herschels and Modern Astronomy.
Concise History of Astronomy.
Modern Cosmogonies.
Problems in Astrophysics.
