Books by Thomas Winship

To fanciful minds and theoretical speculators, the so-called ""science"" of modern astronomy furnishes a field, unsurpassed in any science for the unrestrained license of the imagination, and the building up of a complicated conjuration of absurdities such as to overawe the simpleton and make him gape with wonder; to deceive even those who truly believe their assumptions to be facts, and to ""make men doubt Divine Revelation with as little discrimination as they were formerly called upon to believe,"" If the reader will carefully follow and weigh the evidence in the following chapters, he cannot fail to be delivered from the thraldom of popular credulity and led to seek the truth himself.
