Book Description
Excerpt from The Geography of the Heavens, and Class Book of Astronomy: Accompanied by a Celestial Atlas To be convinced of this, let any person sit down to a celestial globe or map, and from this alone, make out a set of instructions in regard to some favorite constellation, and then desire his pupil to trace out in the firmament, by means of it, the vari ous stars which he has thus described. The pupil will find it little better than a fancy sketch. The bearings and distances, and especially, the compar ative brightness, and relative positions, will rarely be exhibited with such accuracy that the young observer will be inspired with much confidence in his guide. I have demonstrated to myself, at least, that the most judicious instructions to put on paper for the. Guide of the young in this study are those which I have used most successfully, while in a clear eve ning, without any chart but the firmament above, I have pointed out, with my finger, to a group of listeners, the various stars which compose this and that constellation.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Geography of the Heavens and Class-Book of Astronomy: And Class-Book of Astronomy The rapid progress of the science of astronomy, for the last few years, has again rendered it necessary to revise the Geography of the Heavens - a work, the popularity of which is sufficiently proved by a sale of 300,000 copies. The editor has, therefore, availed himself of the occasion to make such improvements, both in the book and maps, as seemed to be demanded by the progress of the science, and the most approved methods of instruction. Among these improvements we may mention the following: - 1. The matter of the book has been thoroughly assorted; the most important paragraphs being printed in large type, and numbered, as in most modern text-books; while that which seemed in the main explanatory of the more important portions, is left in small print. By this means an agreeable variety is afforded to the eye, while the book is made to contain far more matter, and is, consequently, far more complete, than it could otherwise have been. 2. A new set of Questions has been prepared throughout. These are brief, topical and suggestive; and numbered to answer to the paragraphs to which they relate. 3. A complete list of Telescopic Objects in each constellation has been inserted; giving the Right Ascension and Declination of each object; with a brief description of it; and easy landmarks and directions by which it may be found; and references to telescopic views of the same in the new maps. The color and relative magnitude of the components of the double stars, are also given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
