Herschel or Uranus, & Leverrier or Neptune.
From a focused study on the best of what was known of the heavens, this work by Smith gives illustrations for particular facets of earth, its neighbors and the workings of the solar system.

The planet Uranus is here named "Herchel" after the German born British astronomer who discovered the planet.
