Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Elementary Astronomy for Academies and Schools: Illustrated by Numerous Original Diagrams, and Adapted to Use Either With or Without the Author's Large Maps

Nor is this said to disparage or make war upon them. By no means. Many of them are doing good service, 'and we rejoice in their labors. But as we have adopted a new method, it is neither censor'ious nor immodest to consider it one of superior utility.
