little gem lately published by the Hon. Mrs. WARD. One of the
most admirable little works on one of the most sublime subjects
that has been given to the world. The main design of the book is
to show how much may be done in astronomy with ordinary powers
and instruments. We have no hesitation in saying that we never
saw a work of the kind that is so perfect. The illustrations are
admirable, and are all original."--_Western Daily Press._
