A high-school astronomy: in which the descriptive, physical, and practical are combined ..
A school astronomy textbook by Hiram Mattison, published in New York by Mason Brothers in 1859 for high-school pupils. Wood-engraved diagrams and instrument cuts: the earth's orbit ringed with months and zodiac signs marking solstices and equinoxes, and a transit telescope on a masonry pier, offering dotted-line schematics, hatched shading, and small globes with letter labels.
