Excerpt from The Call of the Stars: A Popular Introduction to a Knowledge, of the Starry Skies
The design of this volume is to present, in plain, nontechnical language, a concise and accurate story of the starry heavens, together with the legendary lore that time and fancy have associated with them. In its preparation the author has consulted and freely used the standard authorities along the various lines of astronomical research, and to these his grateful acknowledgments are due.
The book is not intended for the professional reader, who is doubtless already familiar with the facts here given, but rather for the lay reader, who has but limited time to devote to the subject, and yet who desires to know about the wonderful things in the sky, with their interesting myths and legends.
The work is richly illustrated by charts and diagrams, and by a large number of reproductions of recent photographs made by distinguished astronomers.
The charts as arranged are approximately correct for every place on the surface of the earth situated within a few degrees north or south of the latitudes of New York and Chicago (40° 43' and 41° 53' north latitude, respectively), and for all ordinary purposes represent the aspect of the sky for the different places in any of the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere, at the local time of each place, whatever the longitude may be.
