The Moon: A Popular Treatise
Serviss, Garrett Putman
Moon
“As to life on the moon, I find that I cannot be satisfied with a mere
grass theory. I am so well convinced that there must be something more,
that I no longer relegate my lunarians to an age antedating the
volcanoes. On the contrary, as soon as I get my telescope I am going to
look for signs of them and their doings in the present day, and willy
nilly, sir, you have got to aid me in the search.”
