Annotation | A tour of Saturn followed by tours of Venus and Earth. Saturn is composed of many different countries, the first of which is a eutopia based largely on the ability to read intentions. The major crime is to think evil. Vegetarian. Stress on education. Polygamy because women outnumber men twenty to one. Venus is primitive. The tour of Earth follows its evolution from primitive times to the present. A sequel that purports to be the memoirs of Willmoth is The Stone Giant: A Story of the Mammoth Cave. New York: F. Tennyson Neely, 1898 (HRC). |
