Abstract
To give a clear, comprehensive insight into present-day astronomy, in the “Shown to the Children” series, was no light task, but in doing it Mr. Hawks has approached nearly the ideal. To children “stars” implies every extra-terrestrial orb, save the sun and moon, and Mr. Hawks exhibits his ability to reach the child even in his title.
Stars shown to the Children.
