Excerpt from A Compendium of Astronomy: Containing the Elements of the Science, Familiarly Explained and Illustrated, Adapted to the Use of Schools and Academies, and of the General Reader By omitting mathematical formula, and employing much familiar illustration, we have endeavored to bring the leading facts and doctrines of this noble and interesting science, within the comprehension of every attentive and intelligent reader. In no science, more than in this, are greater advantages to be derived from a lucid arrangement - an order which brings out every fact and doctrine of the science, just in the place where the mind is ready to receive it. A certain maturity of mind, and power of reflection, are, however, indispensable for under standing this science. Astronomy is ne study for children. Let them be employed on subjects more suited to the state of their capacities, until those faculties are more fully developed, which will enable them to learn to conceive correctly of the celestial motions. A work on Astronomy that is very easy, must be very superficial, and will be fodnd to enter little into the arcana of the science. The riches of this mine lie deep and no one can acquire them, who is either incompetent or unwilling to penetrate beneath the surface.
