Par This part comprehends the solar system, and such other parts of astronomy as are absolutel necessary to be clearly understood by the young student, he ore he attempts to solve many of the problems in the succeeding parts of the book. The object in earning the Use of the Globes should be to illustrate some of the most important branches of geography' and astronomy; and this object cannot be obtained by merely twirling the globe round and working a few problems, without understanding the principles on which their solutions are found ed. Lessons thoroughly explained and clearly understood make a lasting impression on the student's memory, and will enable him, not bnly to solve such problems as he may meet with in books on the Globes, but to frame several new problems himself, and to solve others which he never heard of before.
