Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Heavens: An Illustrated Handbook of Popular Astronomy
I AM among those who believe, that the natural and physical sciences possess in themselves attraction sufficient to render any ornament super?uous. This conviction has been my only guide in the conception and writing of this book, which is not, indeed, a scientific one, but a faithful picture of the phenomena offered by the Heavens to man's intelligent admiration.
