You can read George Ellery Hale's 1922 book, The New Heavens, here from Project Gutenberg or here from Google Book Search.
I have also posted a copy of Hale's April 1928 article in Harper's Monthly: The Possibilities of Large Telescopes.
Palomar Skies a blog with news and information about the Palomar Observatory. Postings here will cover current research, history and public outreach events taking place at the observatory.

Nice...I really enjoyed the PBS special on Hale and his telescopes last fall. Amazing to think that crowds turned out to see a mirror go by on a train!
