...Elective Pamphlet will soon be issued, we desire to call attention to a somewhat remarkable deficiency. On looking through the pages of this well-known periodical, we find a great number of courses in languages and various departments of science, but none in that most fascinating and grandest of all sciences, Astronomy. A man may get a little Astronomy in Phys. I, and something of the mathematics of the subject in Math. I, but this is very unsatisfactory, - as if we could learn Geology only by supplementing Chem. 2 with a course of applied excavation at the Bussey Institution. These...

It was left to a Harvard graduate to collect the scattered papers into a book, which thus established his fame. His miscellaneous Essays, contributed to various English magazines, were collected by the same loving hand and first published in this country.
