Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Echoes From Years Gone
In their own order, and many Of them so distant that thousands Of years elapse before the light from them reaches our earth. There is nothing calculated to enlarge the mind so much as the study of astronomy. It shows man how insignificant he is, and at the same time demonstrates the inconceivable wisdom, greatness, and power Of the Creator and Upholder of the universe. A man, however poor, who possesses a mind willing to acquire wisdom, may ask questions with the immortal Newton.
