which speculative minds have peopled these ana

We have thus far followed Mr.. Proctor, merely
ieuching upon some OF the principal points In his
book. Much remains unnoticed scarcely less im-
portant, aud certainly not less interesting aud in

extended notice. We are, consequently, compelled
to pass with mere mention the chapter on
uranus and Neptune' the moon and Other
Satellites" on "Meteors and Comets,r on "Other
Suns than Ours,n on "iinor stars and on "The
Ncbne,' all OF which are admirably written.
The work throughout IL deserving OF the highest
praise In the animated pages of the author we
can see embodied and summarized all the opinions
and specuations or astronomers on probably the
most important subjects In speculative science with
many original and valuable ideas founded upon
recent discoveries. We have used the term 'spccn-
laIive science although 1t is hardly applicable for
though our belief In or doubt of the habtabity OF
the celestial bodies IL partly the result OF specula-
ton, it is not wholly devoid OF true foundation.
Many facts arc known TO us which lead to the con.
cusion that on Mars there probably dwell races OF
ANIMALS possessed OF as high intelligence as ours and
as advanced In civilization as we are, And 1t may
BIO that the Jovial astronomer, standing upon hts
gigantic world, looks ut our Earth through better
telescope than any we have invented, AMI wonders
whether nature ever intended such tiny world as
this for human beings to dwell upon.
But whether our opinions on the habltabIity of
the planets be speculative or nO the subject is none
the less important and none the less worthy Of
study. Believing this we DO not hesitate TO recon-
mend Mr.. Proctor's work to the general public. 1t
Ia written with much vigor, the argument is always
good and the style aolably clear and graceful. We
have not read m astronomical wsrk the pernsal OF
which has afforded us more pleasure, entertainment
and, most valuable OF all, instruction.
