“Whoever opens this book will be surprised to find how little of the technical there is in it, how popular it is in style, and plain in its statement of astronomical facts. It is one of the most brilliant and fascinating expositions of the science of the stars we have ever seen. While it cannot fail to interest the special student of the noble science of astronomy, its chief value, we judge, will consist in its charming adaptation to the tastes of the general reader.”—Guardian, Philadelphia.
