A Popular History Of Astronomy During The N… par Agnes M. Clerke
Really, one of my favorite books, ever. No one writes like this any more, which is a pity. I guess now it'd be considered "florid" writing, but it communicates so well the excitement of the subject.

If you are so inclined, treat yourself to the reprint from Sattre Press. I'm not connected with them, but I like supporting small presses. I hope they do more books like this one.
