PRESS NOTICES.

"The book is curious, and not a little mystical." — Bookseller.

"We hope the tale will have the success which its merit fully deserves." — Literary Churchman.

"This very fantastic tale has been written with a fixed purpose." — Notes and Queries.

"The story is very skilfully and ingeniously told, and as a speculation in science is consistent and not improbable." — Yorkshire Post.

"Portions of the book remind us of Swedenborg, Fontenelle, and Lord Lytton .... The story throughout, however, is curious, and very well told." — Liverpool Mercury.

"No ordinary reader will rise from its perusal without enjoyment, and without having gained in a most attractive form a better knowledge of the wandering stars." — Western Daily Mercury.

"The author never offends, and the moral lesson inculcated is a good one." — Lloyd's.

"The author has allowed his fancy to have free play, while his speculations are based on the known facts of Astronomy, and he has imparted a moral and religious tone into his amusing and somewhat fantastic tales." — Church Times.
