For many years I have had it in my mind to endeavor to supply some day, so far as might be, that of which there appeared to be a serious want - a plain and easily-to-be-understood Introduction to Astronomy...volume fitted for "beginners" of all kinds, whether children, working-men, or even grown people of the educated classes, who should have a desire to enter for the first time on the study of this fascinating science. - Summary Adapted from the Preface
