Excerpt from The Mechanic of the Moon: Dedicated to the Astronomers and Astro-Physicists This little work treats on the state, condition, and formation of the surface of the moon, a subject which has been accepted by recent astronomers, but, reasonably, not without a certain amount of distrust. This, for the sake of simplicity, we shall call the "Mechanic of the Moon." The author has reason to believe that the hypotheses which are expounded in the following pages have been accepted by the majority of modern astronomers and astro-physicists, notwithstanding the seemingly incredible and extraordinary opinions represented. This work will be distinguished from all preceding treatises on the subject, inasmuch as all matters which are already known to astronomers and astro-physicists, and which may, therefore, be considered as fully or partially exhausted, are omitted, in order that the attention of the reader may not be distracted from the principal point, namely, the Theory of the Mechanic of the Moon.
