Proctor was one of the leading science writers of the 19th century. From the Preface: "I still consider the work a sound exposition of the theory of the plurality of worlds, though I consider that the weight of evidence favours my theory of the (relative) paucity of worlds." Content includes: Past and Future of the Earth; Seeming Wasted in Nature; New Theory of Life in Other Worlds; Missing Comet; Thoughts on Astrology; Saturn and the Sabbath of the Jews; and more. In very good condition: some shelfwear to boards; bumped and rubbed corners, and spine ends and edges; small stamp of owner on inside board & endpaper; interior hinge cracked but binding remains tight; pages are clean and unmarked.
