Excerpt from Bouvier's Familiar Astronomy, or an Introduction to the Study of the Heavens: Illustrated by Celestial Maps and Upwards of Two Hundred Finely Executed Engravings, to Which Is Added a Treatise on the Globes, and a Comprehensive Astronomical Dictionary; For the Use of Schools, Families, and Private Students

This Work, embracing all the recent observations of the heavenly bodies, is intended to be a complete treatise on Astronomy, conducting the pupil, step by step, from the base to the summit of the structure; explaining as far as practicable, by figures and diagrams, all the celestial phenomena, and the laws by which they are governed, without entering into those mathematical details which properly belong to treatises designed for those who propose to make Astronomy their chief study.
