FLAMMARION'S POPULARASTRONOMY
Translated from the French by J. ELLARD GORE, F.R.A.S.
With 3 Plates and 288 Illustrations.

"The six books into which the book is divided give a very lucid and accuratedescription of the knowledge which has been acquired of the moving bodies of space,both as respects their motions and physical constitutions. Of the translation we canonly speak in terms of praise. Not only does it well represent the original, butMr. Gore has added useful notes for the purpose of bringing the information up todate, and has also increased the number—already very considerable—of the excellentillustrations, so that the work is likely to become as popular in England as it hasbeen in France."—Athenæum.

"The work which Mr. J. E. Gore has translated into English has made for itselfa name and reputation in France ... and has gone into general circulation to thenumber of a hundred thousand copies. This last fact is proof how well within thebounds of possibility it is to make the latest discoveries of science comprehensibleand fascinating to the common mind. M. Flammarion has attained this triumphthrough the grasp of his knowledge, the lucidity of his style, and his power ofbringing home the most stupendous and complicated of the things revealed to us inthe depths of space. M. Flammarion's pages should find almost as great acceptancein this country as in his own. Simplicity of arrangement and of statement are partof his charm and of his success."—Scotsman.

"M. Flammarion's latest volume, if it does not displace its English rivals, maywell take a high place in the rank to which they belong. It is full, lucid, and, thanksto Mr. Gore's careful revision, well up to date.... Mr. Gore's edition is so carefullybrought abreast of the latest discoveries that the English student may now congratulatehimself on being in an even better position than the countrymen ofM. Flammarion."—Daily Chronicle.

"Young students of astronomy who wish to obtain a general idea of the mostwonderful and fascinating of all sciences will find precisely what they seek inM. Flammarion's eloquent and poetic chapters.... There are many illustrationsin this able and attractive treatise."—Speaker.

"It is a fascinating work, extending to nearly seven hundred pages, and dealingin popular language with some of the most interesting of the discoveries and speculationsof astronomers."—Daily News.

"M. Flammarion is a sound practical astronomer; he has rendered good andlaborious service
