About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ...from the sun is, in round numbers (which I shall mostly employ) 100 millions of miles; which is of course the radius or semi-diameter of its orbit. This orbit, therefore, reaches through a circuit of 600 millions of miles, along which the earth passes at the rate of 70,000 miles an hour. And we are at this moment more than 35,000 miles distant from the point in space where we were thirty minutes ago. We have actually travelled 35,000 miles, beside being carried by the diurnal motion of the earth 500 miles further east than we were half an hour ago! It is difficult to feel the reality of this, and yet it is as certain as figures.

Saturn rejoices in seven moons, and in the additional glory of two magnificent rings belting her heavens with a splendor inconceivable to us, who are favored only with the light of one humble little moon for half the time. And this last body, with its stupendous accompaniments of moons and rings, is rushing through space at the rate of more than 22,000 miles an hour! Jupiter is more than 260,000 miles in circumference, and is less than ten hours in its revolution on its axis. If our earth moved at the same rate it would turn on its axis in less than an hour, and our days and nights would be about thirty minutes each! Neptune, the outermost body of our solar family, is thirty times as far from the sun as we are, or 3000 millions of miles. This is the last round in the celestial ladder which our system supplies. From this we...
