Excerpt from The Geography of the Heavens, and Class Book of Astronomy: Accompanied by a Celestial Atlas To be convinced of this, let any person sit down to a celestial globe or map, and from this alone, make out a set of instructions in regard to some favorite constellation, and then desire his pupil to trace out in the firmament, by means of it, the vari ous stars which he has thus described. The pupil will find it little better than a fancy sketch. The bearings and distances, and especially, the compar ative brightness, and relative positions, will rarely be exhibited with such accuracy that the young observer will be inspired with much confidence in his guide. I have demonstrated to myself, at least, that the most judicious instructions to put on paper for the. Guide of the young in this study are those which I have used most successfully, while in a clear eve ning, without any chart but the firmament above, I have pointed out, with my finger, to a group of listeners, the various stars which compose this and that constellation.
