Excerpt from Sunshine and Moonlight: With, Also, a Flash of Comets, Meteors and Shooting Stars, and a Twinkle of Starlight; How the Boys and Girls Had a Holiday "Outing," at Home In making a rather wide departure from the, line Of his former efforts Of this kind, A man trusts that his work will be, at least, no less acceptable than has that which has already been Offered. It is his wish that this little volume, the sixth Of the series, may not only please and entertain, in a measure, those who may chance to read it, but that it may awaken in some Of them, at least, a strong desire to know more of these things; that it may lead them to seek a fuller knowledge Of god's works and ways as Shown, not alone in the wonders Of the heavens, but in the manifold wonders everywhere about us, on and in the earth, as well, - for it is literally a world of wonders. A man would have his little books to accomplish something in the way Of supplanting the trashy and vicious literature, now so freely Offered to young people, with something far better, by pointing out to his young friends some Of the paths along which they may most pleasantly and profitably travel. As with former issues, the indulgence of Older and more critical readers is asked touching the matters Of frequent repetitions, Odd phraseology, etc., made necessary by the nature of the work; to pre sent the wonderful truths Of astronomy so that little folks may under stand them even fairly well, is no light task. The aim has been to present elementary facts as plainly as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
