Excerpt from Outlines of Astronomy

Few persons can undertake any serious study of astronomy, for want of the necessary appliances. There is, indeed, a purely mathematical branch of astronomy, which may be thoroughly mastered by the study of books alone, aided by actual practice in mathematical reasoning. But this theoretical astronomy, as it is called, is too difficult, except in its mere rudiments, fer use in general education; and it is rather a branch of mathematics than of natural science although, its results are applicable to astronomical work.
