PROSPECTUS FOR
THE SIDEREAL MESSENGER

A Monthly Journal dtUoted 10 Astronomical Sci
ence, conducted by O. M. MITCHELL, Director
of the Cincinnati Observatory.
VNHERE does not exist, at present. in the world,
Il a single popular journal, from whose pages
the general reader may follow the rapidly advancing
progress Of Modern Astronomy.
The great truths now developing, are only to be
found in the Transactions of learned Societies. or
locked up in the annual volumes Of Observations,
in strict technical form.
The erection of the Cincinnati Observatory, by
the voluntary efforts of more than seven hundred
persons of all ranks conditions and callngs, in one
single city, has demonstrated in the most satisfac-
tory manner, the interest which the people take in
