DEAR SIR,

MIDNIGHT
Notes on the Stars and Planets.

SKY.

WITH THIRTY-TWO STAR MAPS, AND NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS.

Imperial Svo. 7s. 6d. in handsome bevelled boards; 9s. extra, gilt edges.

Letter to the Editor from Thomas Carlyle.

I have to return you many true thanks for the beautiful and admirable book you have had the kindness to send me. I find in it all the qualities of excellence as a book; lucid, perspicuous at a glance, concise, correct; completely fulfilling its purpose. Those little Maps of the starry spaces far surpass, in clearness and useful worth, all I have seen before in the planisphere way; no reader but by help of them may find, with a minimum of trouble, the star he seeks. It is long since I have seen in any department a piece of work so well done.

The surprisingly cheap price too is an essential feature; in short, it can be said that your charitable and truly catholic intention has been to a wonderful degree realized that innumerable persons will get a fine and human kind of knowledge, with corresponding benefit, from this book, and nobody get error or harm. In my own name and that of all the world, thanks! I remain, yours sincerely,
