In the following Compendium of Astronomy, it has been the aim of the author to render the principles of the science so simple, that they may be easily understood; not only by the scholar who spends a few weeks at an academy, but by him whose means and views do not carry him beyond the common school. The questions at the close of the chapters and sections are intended to aid the teacher, and not to prevent his own, which ought to be often proposed. The questions inserted are important in reviews.
