Synopsis
Excerpt from The Call of the Stars: A Popular Introduction to a Knowledge, of the Starry Skies
The book is not intended for the professional reader, who is doubtless already familiar with the facts here given, but rather for the lay reader, who has but limited time to devote to the subject, and yet who desires to know about the wonderful things in the sky, with their interesting myths and legends.
The work is richly illustrated by charts and diagrams, and by a large number of reproductions of recent photographs made by distinguished astronomers.
