Transcriber's Note:
Obvious typographical errors have been repaired.
_Underscores_ surround italicized content.
Mid-paragraph illustrations were moved near to the text describing
the illustrated material.
Redundant title--Astronomy for Young Folks--on p. 3 was deleted.
P. 3: Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth--"Canst" is assumed in blank
space.
P. 25: brighter object than the nearby star Aldebaran--"star" is
assumed in blank space.
P. 122: Illustration originally stated "See note page 126". That
statement was removed, and the actual note from page 126 was moved to
its place with the illustration.
P. 174: [...]--duplicate of later line "occurred at L'Aigle, France,
in 1803. Between two" appeared at this spot. Possible missing text
where the line occurred.

letter immediately following appears as a superscript.
