A compendium of astronomy; containing the elements of the science, familiarly explained and illustrated, with the latest discoveries. Adapted to the use of schools and academies, and of the general reader
A school and academy astronomy textbook by Denison Olmsted, published in New York by R. B. Collins in 1850 for students and general readers. The wood-engraved figures are plain line geometry — circles ringed with stars, radiating sight lines from an eye or sun, lettered orbits, and a small figure standing on a globe — usable as diagram stock, rules, and rosette patterns.
