ELEMENTS OF ASTRONOMY ; with explanatory Notes and ele- 

 gant Illustrations. By John Brocklesby, A. M., Professor in Trinity College. 



From the Connecticut Common School Journal. 



We take pleasure in calling the attention of teachers and students to this truly ex- 

 cellent book. It is not a milk-and-water compilation, without principles and with- 

 out demonstration. It contains the elements of the science in their proper integrity 

 and proportions. Its author is a learned man and a practical instructor, as the 

 author of every school-book should be. The style is a model for a text-book, com- 

 bining in a high degree perspicuity, precision, and vivacity. In a word, it is the very 

 best elementary work on Astronomy with which we are acquainted. 



This notice is echoed by a large number of academies, who are promptly intro- 

 ducing the book. 



ELEMENTS OF METEOROLOGY; designed for Schools and Ac- 

 ademies. By John Brocklesby, A. M., Professor of Mathematics and Natural 

 Philosophy in Trinity College, Hartford. 75 cents. 



The subject of Meteorology is of the deepest interest to all. Its phenomena every- 

 where surround us, and ought to be as familiarly known to the scholar as his arith- 

 metic or philosophy. This work treats of Winds in general, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, 

 Water-spouts, Rain, Fogs, Clouds, Dew, Snow, Hail, Thunder-storms, Rainbows, 

 Haloes, Meteorites, Northern Lights, &c. 



It has proved highly satisfactory in the school-room, and is now the established 

 text-book in a very large number of our best high schools and academies, where the 

 natural sciences are taught. 



It is highly commended by Prof. Olmsted, Prof. Silliman, Dr. J. L Comstock, 

 Prof. Lee, of Pa., Prof. Love, of Mo., and a host of eminent instructors.
