To me Editor Of the .Ale.rqndria Herald

To the Editor Of the alexandria Herald !:
Sir-Having attended the course of
astronomical lectures delivered by MIR.
Stevens, l cannot avoid expressing the
sentiment of qualification which they i'm.
parted to me. Explaining in manner
suitable to the meanest capacity, the phe.
nomena of the heavens, the tides, and SD
forth, they tend to withdraw the mind
from trifling employments; to create a
taste for intellectual pursuits, and to con.
flute the pedantic opinion that astronomy
is science too rcconditc for popular an.
prchension. The Formidable systems of
La Place and other philosophers, how.
ever amusing to spec ulative men, pro.
duce little practical good TO society, be-
cause their elaborate in,ricacy frightens
the most jealous and enterprising stu
dent. But when this digni6ed and inte-
resting subject is made familiar to ordi.
nary minds, by six lectures, all the diff.
calties with which prejudice had invest
ed it, vanish, and the arrogant pretensions
of philosophy, are exposed in their true
native futility.
why, sis, is no; our mode Of education
IN the, southern states improved so as to
approximate as 10 our northern brethren
as nearly IN literature and science as we
approach them in politics and eloquence?
In our own town we have but lately been
gratihed aud instructed by Boston rhe.
thorician. MIR Walter, and now we incur
debt TO that city equally great, in the
induction to hitherto absiruse SUBJ
yect, which MIR. Stevens affords to as?
cannot avoid expressing hope thai
the second course of this gentlcman's
lectures will meet with the same encou.
ragement, which has been extended to
the hrst-particulariy as it will supply
some chasms In his doctrine of the tides,
the solar system, tho aurora borealis, and
so forth. COPERNlCUS.
