No less than three Theatres in London are engaged,
during the present Lent, in Lectures on Astronomy;
but our Country Readers need not regret their ina-
bility to attend them, as the recently-published Work
of '4. Twenty Lectures on the Wonders qf the Heavens,"
'contains not only the most popular views of this science
ever published, but is illustrated by forty-six splendid
and costly Engravings, which supply the place of the
1 scenery addressed to the London audiences.
