a specialty with Prof. Townley for

to offer on the subject may be "ac

The laity, or that innumerable mr

concerning the heavenly bodies, can
depend only on what is told them.
But there is no lack of faith in their
preceptors for tbe reason that such
phenomena as eclipses, comets, mcas-

, the illimitable facts pertaining to the
"i heavenly bodies are forecasted with
an accuracy which would seem to
