The Old Astronomy Book

The book was published in 1849 and is called "A Short Course in Astronomy and the Use of the Globes" by Henry Kiddle, A.M., Superintendent of Schools, New York. I bought it for a buck at an astronomy convention, I believe. I was looking for a photo for today, and wandered into the living room where the setting sun was illuminating the book on an end table. I opened the book to make it a more interesting photograph.
