To Mars via The Moon. An Astronomical Story.

London: Seeley and Co. Limited.. 1911.

First edition. 8vo. 192x130mm. pp. xxiii [ibl], 25-328 [1]; adverts[8], 16. Sixteen plates and maps. Original navy blue cloth decorated and lettered in gilt. Head and foot of spine bumped and some rubbing to extremities and marking to the boards. Leaves N6 and 7 have a small tear to upper right corner with loss but this does not affect the text. Overall a very good copy of a popular work of science fiction telling of a voyage to Mars and the discovery of an apparently utopian society better in all respects to life on earth. The only improvement brought by the visiting earthlings is golf which is taken up by the Martians with much enthusiasm.
