Abstract
A KNOWLEDGE of the principal constellations visible in our latitudes may be easily acquired from the thirty maps and accompanying text contained in this work. All stars down to the sixth magnitude are shown, and brief descriptions given of the objects of interest in each constellation. The maps are intended to be useful as an introduction to larger atlases, and will doubtless serve this purpose well; but a beginner unacquainted with the motions of the heavenly bodies will hardly find in them what he requires.
