Robinson e. Pratt, IS Wallst.
This work designed especially for the of pr
mary schools and academies and appears admirably
anped for this purpose. Argos Lectures at the Royal
Observatory Paris adopted the basis of the treatise
which is believed by the author embrace all the leading
principles of the science and is yet unincumbered by the
sbrusc mathematical demonstrations which have shut out
previous works upon the subject from the schools for
which this is especially designed Every at
that thorough satisfactory knowledge of Astronomy
can be acquired without previous acquaintance with the
principles and details of mathematical SCIENCE still many OF
the prominent facts connected with this great and
interesting branch of study may be treasured up and
extent made useful, with knowledge of mathematics
than embraced in arithmetic; and it is desi
nbe that to this extent at least Astronomy should be pursued
in schools. We have work we'll cal
caed render this service the of popular educa
this of Mr. Haskns; and while it will interfere
all with the elaborate treatise Of Sir John Herschel,
is adoption Will be of decided advantage the primary
schools through the land.
