Brief Description: No exact date given on item, but thought to be composed before 1810. Robert Hennell practiced penmanship, drew the constellations, plants. Includes a projection of the sphere on the plane of the "solstitial colure," oval maps of England, Sweden and Norway, Europe, Spain and Portugal, mostly colored.
Notes: Richard Comfield (1774-1842) according to research, was "a keen astronomer and a clever mechanic making his own telescopes." Apparently he imbued his students with a love of learning of art and of science.
