This article focuses on the book "L'Astronomie Pratique et les Observations en Europe et an Amérique, Depuis le Milieu du XVII. Siécle Jusqu'á Partie." The volume contains a very flattering account of the Meteorological Observatory in Central Park, where, Daniel Draper has a truly scientific establishment filled with ingenious and simple instruments of his own devising. The printing meteorological instruments invented by the director of the Dearborn Observatory of Chicago, are also fully explained. In short, the work, while destined especially for men of science, contains a quantity of most useful and interesting information, such as is not to be met with elsewhere.
