Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of the Comets: Simply Told for General Readers
This volume scarcely needs a preface, for the title page tells its aim, and implies the motives which have inspired it. It may, however, be confessed that the great public interest which seems to have sprung up in connection with the expected return this year Or next of Halley's Comet had something to do with the non-publication Of the book last year and its non-postponement till next year.
