The author, a Scottish astronomer named James Ferguson, wrote this guide to astronomy for a general audience according to the scientific principles laid out by Sir Issac Newton. Ferguson's love of the field is apparent from the first sentence of the book, in which he says: "Of all the sciences cultivated by mankind, astronomy is acknowledged to be, and undoubtedly is, the most sublime, the most interesting, and the most useful."
