THE following tract, now first issued from the American press, contains perhaps a more comprehensive collection of astronomical treasure than any other volume of equal size with which our schools are furnished. Some inaccuracies, which had found their way into the Cambridge edition, have been corrected in this; some omissions supplied, and the recent discoveries introduced.
