Author of “A Field Book of the Stars,” etc. _8^o. With 164 Illustrations and Diagrams_ _$3.50 net. By mail, $3.75_ “A sumptuous treasure-house in which the lover of ancient myth and modern miracle may wander for enchanted hours. Its red and gold doors open upon a gallery of masterpieces in art, all being inspired conceptions connected in some way with star lore. The pictures and the legends of all ages have been ransacked to make this gallery irresistible to art and nature lovers, and not in vain. Withal the most intense facts of astronomical knowledge and discovery are given beside the tapestried romance which earlier peoples wove with star-stuff as the medium of their art. It is a book delightful to the eye, scholarly in conception and treatment, and charming to the inner sense.”--From _Scientific American._ “Here all the myths, legends, and facts relating to all our northern constellations are set forth fully as well as with scientific exactness, are illustrated with clear maps and diagrams, and are brought into close association with their classic origins by beautifully reproduced photographs of works of art and architecture.” _The Outlook._ New York G. P. Putnam’s Sons London Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed. Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. The spelling and accent marks of non-English words have not been changed. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed. Illustrations have been moved, when necessary, to fall between paragraphs and outside of quoted text. In some cases, this places them on different pages than the ones given in the Table of Illustrations. In versions of this eBook that support “links”, the page numbers in that table link to the correct illustrations. Wide tables on pages 113 and 146 have been split to fit within recommended width limits. The left-hand identifier columns have been duplicated in both halves of the split tables.
