OF THE TERRESTRIAL GLOBE; OR, GUIDE TO FITZ'S NEW METHOD OF MOUNT- DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF FAMILIES, SCHOOLS, AND ACADEMIES. PREFACE. THE following pages are designed solely as an accompaniment to Fitz's Globe. They therefore contain only the text which is thought to bear expressly upon the use of this globe. A brief Appendix, comprising an historical account of globes, with a few details respecting their construction, forms the single exception. I am happy to render acknowledgments to Prof. G. A. HILL of Harvard College, from whom I have received valuable aid in the preparation of the book. As regards the practical teaching of the subject, it is suggested that it would be well to have the learner first study thoroughly the first 71 articles of Part I.; then take the Description of the Globe (in connection, of course, with the Globe itself); and then proceed to the Problems, going back to the remaining articles of Part I. when he comes to the Problems which refer to the subjects explained in those articles. It is intended in a future edition to enlarge this manual, giving it more the form of an Astronomy, and having a portion of it adapted to the use of a celestial globe. WATERTOWN, January, 1876. E. E.
