Excerpt from The Solar System, Vol. 10: With Moral and Religious Reflections in Reference to the Wonders Therein Displayed

The following work is chiefly designed for juvenile readers, and for those who have hitherto acquired but a slender acquaintance with the general facts of astro nomical science. With this view, the attention of the reader is, in the first place, directed to the general aspect and the apparent motions of the heavens, in order that he may be induced to contemplate with his own eyes the apparent movements of the celestial vault, in all its variety of aspects, as beheld in difi'erent coun tries and at different seasons of the year. Without such observations, the student of astronomy can never acquire a clear and accurate view of the economy of the solar system and the phenomena it presents and therefore such personal observations are particularly recommended to all the lovers of astronomical science.
