Abstract
IN this very handsome volume the author brings together every available observation and piece of information that can be gathered from published and unpublished works with respect to our sometimes very near neighbour, the planet Mars. To make such a compilation as this, is, as every one will acknowledge, no light task; and since up to the present no one has made any attempt to collect existing observations and discuss them (although perhaps the value of this book is the more enhanced thereby) the difficulty of the undertaking has been very considerable, but in such hands as M. Flammarion's it has been thoroughly mastered.
