The author's aim has been to collect round the different constellations the folk-lore and legends associated with them, from the myths of Biblical and classical times to references in modern poets. He is frankly popular, and quotes from translations of Homer and Horace instead of the originals. His illustrations are from ancient and modern painting and sculpture, to which he has added drawings and diagrams of his own.
