Sinopsis

Excerpt from Introduction to Astronomy: For the Use of Science Classes and Elementary and Middle Class Schools

The present Work is intended to supply a want which has been. Felt for a long time by those engaged in the scientific education of the young. Astronomy has not been generally cultivated in this country to nearly the extent that it has been, and still is, upon the Continent and in America; and it is believed that this is in some part owing to the want of elementary works on the sub ject. They must be sufficiently cheap to form class-books for middle-class schools, sufficiently scientific to imbue the youthful mind with a love for the science in its true aspect, and yet at the same time sufficiently easy and free from technicalities and mathematical reasoning to be read and understood with the imperfect knowledge of pure mathe maties, possessed by this class of students. Such then has been the aim of this Work.
