Foreword
There are many books on astronomy, a large number of which have been prepared by the great astronomers of the day, for use as textbooks. Some, however, tell the story of the heavens in a fascinating way for the general reader; but all of them, without exception, give credence to unscriptural theories of creation. "In Starland" was written that our young people might have the story of the heavens purged from the erroneous ideas that pervade more pretentious books.
The author desires that the reader, while learning of the glories of the sky, may always be cognizant of the most important truth of all, — that the worlds came not by chance or evolution, but were framed by the word of God; that He spoke and they "stood fast."
The purpose of this volume is merely to outline to the reader the story of the heavens as revealed in the combined research work of the world's leading astronomers. Only in a general way, therefore, can the author give credit where credit is due.
