OPINIONS OF THE PRESS,

"This is a truly valuable work, and will be found as useful
and acceptable to the general student of science on shore, as to
those who seek only to determine by planetary observation the
true position of a ship at sea. The explanations are so clear
and comprehensive, that a comparatively slight study of the
work will convey an entirely satisfactory knowledge of points,
which the perusal of most elementary treatises on the same
subjects,. left in cloudiness and doubt. He has done an import-
ant service to students of astronomy in general, and to the
nautical world in particular, and his book should be in the
hands of all seamen, young and old, who are honourably ambi-
tious of perfecting themselves in the higher branches of naviga-
tion. We have, ourselves readily arrived at a distinct percep-
tion of many problems, which we confess we were previously
unable to solve."—Liverpool Standard.
" This work is calculated to be of infinite service to the young
seaman or the student in astronomy. It is admirably adapted
to the end proposed."—Liverpool
"This little work, in a small compass, contains more really
useful instruction than some volumes we have seen of vast size
and pretension. To masters, mates, and young men employed
in the merchant service, and to the youthful officers in the
navy, such a book as this will be a most acceptable boon. Mr.
Payne's style is singularly perspicuous, his great object having
been to render his explanations easy of comprehension by the
merest tyro. In this respect he has been, we conceive, exceed-
ingly felicitous • and the engraved diagrams which he has in-
troduced, will be found great aids to the comprehension of the
student."—Liverpool Albion.
" I have never seen any work on the subjects treated of so
well adapted to the use of a student, and yet of such decided

advantage even to those well versed 'in the science of astrono-
my. The whole of the diagrams do much credit to Mr. Payne's,
talents, while the explanations are so plainly, yet distinctly
worded, that they must give satisfaction to all who study them
attentively. No student of astronomy, and more particularly

of nautical astronomy, should be withant it
