Abstract
In these lectures I shall largely be concerned with the view that the bulk of the primary cosmic rays is of extragalactic origin. In order to set the stage for these ideas, a survey of the components of the extragalactic universe will be given. Then much of the discussion will centre about the various types of extragalactic non-thermal sources.
