The Essence of Astronomy
Things Every One Should Know About the Sun, Moon and Stars
By Edward W. Price
_12mo. Fully Illustrated._
Here is a volume quite different from the usual "popular
book on astronomy."
It answers in untechnical language the every-day questions
of every-day people, the material being so arranged that it
is readily available for quick reference use, as well as for
interesting consecutive reading.
An individual chapter is devoted to each member of the Solar
System. Special space is given to "Curiosities of the
Skies."
The illustrations are from photographs taken at the great
observatories. The drawings of Mars are the most recent
published, being made by Professor Lowell in January, 1914.
The chronological table and annotated bibliography are of
real value.

and facts concerning the sun, of equal interest to the
lay-reader or to the student.
The literature of the subject is teeming with interest,
linked as it is with the life story of mankind from the
cradle of the race to the present day, for the solar myth
lies at the very foundation of all mythology, and as such
must forever claim pre-eminence.
