Abstract
THE writer of this book is author of “British Fossils, and where to Seek Them,” and “Land and Water Shells, &c.” In his preface he quotes with approval the adage, “ Ground your knowledge of any special group on a general knowledge of nature as a whole.” This is perhaps why he now turns his attention from shells to astronomy. However this may be, the work has been carefully compiled, and is to be recommended as a safe guide. Some of the illustrations are excellent.
