Abstract
WHILE in many respects this little book seems likely to provide a useful introduction to the study of astronomy, it is to be regretted that greater assistance is not given to those desirous of observing the heavens for themselves. Even without the aid of a telescope the beginner may easily make observations, more particularly of apparent motions, which will go far to encourage a real interest in the subject.
