Excerpt from Uranography: A Brief Description of the Constellations Visible in the United States; With Star-Maps, and Lists of Objects Observable With a Small Telescope This brief description of the constellations was pre pared, at the suggestion of a number of teachers, as an integral part of the author's Elements of Astronomy. It has been thought best, however, for various reasons, to put it into such a form that it can be issued separately, and used if desired in connection with the larger Gen: eral Astronomy, or with any other text-book. Since the Uranography also has to be used more or less in the open air at night, many will probably prefer to have it by itself, so that its use need not involve such an exposure of the rest of the text-book.
