WILLIAM.
And is the moon also a globe of fire?
DR. BARTLETT.
No. The moon is a dark body, it receives its light from the sun.
CHARLES.
All the stars which we see, have their names I suppose?
DR. BARTLETT.
Not all; we have given names to some of them, that we may better distinguish them.
CHARLES.
I feel a great desire to be an astronomer; it must be a very pleasing study.
