Reader's note

This wonderous old book is one of boundless interest! This is the book for the curious mind that wants answers to questions such as the following - What is the sun - how hot, how big and how distant? Whence comes its heat? What is the Moon? What are its landscapes like? How does it move? Are the other planets globes like ours? What do we know of the satellites of Jupiter and of the rings of Saturn? How was Uranus discovered? What can be told about the shooting stars which so often dash into the atmosphere and vanish in a streak of splendour? This book contains all these answers and so much more! Beautifully decorative and illustrated with full colour plates and line drawings throughout, this is a great science book and a lovely addition to any home reference library.
