The Elements of Astronomy, Illustrated by Observations Which the Student May Make ... To Which Is Added, an Essay On the Plurality of Worlds by James Mitchell, originally published in 1820, offers a comprehensive introduction to astronomy. This book guides the student through the fundamental principles of astronomy, accompanied by practical observations that can be performed by the reader. Mitchell combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on learning, making complex concepts accessible to aspiring astronomers.
