Summary[edit]

Description

From Burritt's Geography of the Heavens

Published by F.J. Huntington Sept. 1 1835, Hartford, Connecticut.

Note the use of the name Herschel instead of Uranus. Herschel was the name of it's discoverer but his original name for the planet "Georgium Sidus" was unpopular. Uranus wasn't widely accepted as the name until 1850.

Please forgive the rough scan.
