Contains 2,800 letters. Letters currently available in other scholarly editions (such as those to George Bernard Shaw and Arnold Bennett) have been excluded, except where their inclusion seemed essential. Wells's private correspondence extends from letters to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and A.J. Balfour to persons such as 'Mark Benney', who wrote novels based on his life in the slums and his time in prison. There is rich correspondence too with his many female friends and lovers, among them Rebecca West, Eileen Power, Gertrude Stein, Marie Stopes, Lillah MacCarthy and Dorothy Richardson. Some of his most powerful letters on the controversies of free love, socialism, birth control, the Fabian Society, and the nature of the curriculum of the new London University in the 1890s are included.

Subtitle: An Unemotional Statement Of The Things That Are Happening To Him Now, And Of The Immediate Possibilities Confronting Him
Secker & Warburg, London, 1939
Longmans & Green, New York, 1939, as "The Fate Of Man"
Begins with a statement of the ecological crisis and then surveys the "existing forces" that hold man on the road to destruction and prevent him from taking the road to utopia: Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Nazism, Totalitarianism, the British oligarchy, Shintoism, the New Life movement, Imperialism, Communism, the American mentality. The conclusion is that Man will almost certainly fail to adapt to his new environment and hence pass out of existence

LISTED ALPHABETICALLY

Article descriptions quoted/adapted from Science Fiction Studies, No. 2, DePauw University, Indiana, Fall 1973

About Telegraphs
Pall Mall Gazette, Jan 5 1895
A review of A.L. Ternant's The Telegraph (trans. R. Routledge) in which the praises the French scientist's book for its wide-ranging historical exposition of the development of various telegraph systems, ancient and modern.
Acquired Factor, The
The Academy, Jan 9, 1897
A review of C. Lloyd Morgan's Habit And Instinct (1896). Morgan argues that the human body and instincts are no longer evolving. The mental environment alone evolves. Despite his brute ancestry, man can shape his world through science, art, and education, and so "cease to be driven, a dry leaf before the wind."
A.D. 1900
Pall Mall Gazette, Oct 12 1894
An article in which Wells argues that, in 1900, the giving of a dinner party or the hanging of a picture may be forbidden by court order if either is deemed unwholesome by Mrs. Hallelujah, Mr. Peahen, or other guardians of public morality.
Advent Of The Flying Man, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Dec 8, 1893
Not to be confused with the short story "The Flying Man", Pall Mall Gazette, Jan 4, 1895
Portrays the flying man, present and future. The 19th and 20th centuries witness his fiascos and triumphs. By A.D. 21,000 batlike swarms darken the evening air, homing to suburban "rookeries" from the dome of St. Paul's. The flying man holds the future: "Even now the imaginative person may hear the beating of his wings."
Ancient Experiments In Co-Operation
Gentleman's Magazine, Oct 1892
The "element of individual competition [in the struggle for existence] is over-accentuated in current thought" while biological cooperation has been ignored. Wells gives a few examples of the kind of cooperation he is referring to, pointing out that man himself "is an aggregate of [cooperating] amoeboid individuals in a higher unity."
Angels And Animalculae
Pall Mall Gazette, Oct 9, 1894
A review of J.W. Thomas's Spiritual Law In The Natural World (1894), which Wells calls "what one may perhaps call the New Theology, theology 'up-to-date.'"
Angels, Plain And Coloured
Pall Mall Gazette, Dec 6, 1893
A catalogue of angels, including: the common white angel of "the oleograph, the Christmas card, the illustrated good book, and the plaster cast"; the art angel of "fiery red and celestial blue," "of brightness rather than sentiment"; and the biblical angel of the Hebrew and of Milton, "a vast winged strength, sombre and virile."
Another Basis For Life
The Saturday Review, Dec 22, 1894
In this article Wells argues that certain non-organic elements, such as the silicon-aluminum cycle, could "afford the necessary material basis for a quasi-conscious and even mental superstructure." On this basis he envisions the possibility of silicon-aluminium organisms.
At The Royal College Of Science
The Educational Times, Sep 1, 1893
A description of the Royal College of Science in which Wells endeavours to give the reader a student's view of that institution.
Belated Botanist, A
Pall Mall Gazette, Nov 13, 1894
A review in which Wells characterises E. Sandford, author of A Manual Of The Exotic Ferns And Selaginella (1894), as "an extreme expression of the specialist type." Knowing all about the cultivation of ferns, he has not a suspicion of the findings of botany in the last forty years—facts of fertilization, reproduction, and classification—known to "almost any high- school girl."
Biological Problem Of To-Day, The
Saturday Review, Dec 29, 1894
A brief expository critique of August Weismann's theory of germ plasm, against which the main objection is that the presumed immortality of germ cells seems to be another version of the theory that all individuals were preformed at the beginning of time.
Bio-Optimism
Nature, Aug 29 1895
A review of The Evergreen by Patrick Geddes et al., in which Wells rejects Geddes' arguments against the idea that the struggle for existence is the prime mechanism in evolution: "As a matter of fact Natural Selection grips us more firmly than it ever did, because the doubts thrown upon the inheritance of acquired characteristics have deprived us of our trust in education as a means of redemption for decadent families."
British Nationalism And The League Of Nations
A pamphlet published by the League of Nations Union, 1918
Bye-Products In Evolution (1895)
The Saturday Review, Feb 2 1895
"Modification ... involved in the change [designated] A," required for successful adaptation, brings with it "other consequent changes ... the directly unserviceable and yet absolutely necessary modifications B, C, and D"; hence, "a perfectly useless organ" may be just this kind of "bye-product" and does not necessarily pose an objection to the theory of natural selection. Wells then goes on to speculate on whether the higher attributes of mind might be such "bye-products" of evolutionary adaptation.
Centre Of Terrestrial Life, The
The Saturday Review, Feb 16 1895
On the basis of the geological theory that continental land masses have persisted fundamentally unchanged in scope in geological time, Wells reasons that terrestrial life must have begun in the higher northern latitudes and "In the struggle for existence between the older and newer type [i.e., species], generally the newer prevailed and drove the older southwards."
Churchill
Colliers, Nov 2, 1940
Colours Of Animals, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Jan 25 1895
An article on the significance and function of colour in animals. Wells cites F.E. Beddard's book Animal Colouration (1892) as his main source.
Common Sense Of World Peace, The
An address delivered to the Reichstag in 1929
Reprinted in the book After Democracy <1932)
Concerning Our Pedigree
Gentleman's Magazine, Jun 189
Wells muses, with satirical overtones, on the evolutionary ancestry of man, which he follows from the anthropoid apes backwards in time.
Concerning Skeletons
The Saturday Review, June 27 1896
In this article Wells asks why the skeleton is made of phosphate and carbonate of lime rather than of silica, which would be sturdier and more durable. He also ask why a skeletal structure has evolved at all, since it is "not simply explicable as a response to the need for support and armature". He concedes that these are as yet unanswerable questions, and suggests "that the line of advance in biology lies now along the path of physiological chemistry [i.e., biochemistry]."
Concerning The Nose
The Ludgate, Apr 1896
Light-hearted speculation on the future evolution of the human nose. "The nose of to-day...is in...a transitory and developing stage. One may imagine 'advanced' noses, inspired with an evolutionary striving towards something higher, remoter, better..."
Counsel Of The Dead, The
Harper's Magazine, Oct 1980
"Cyclic" Delusion, The
The Saturday Review, Nov 10, 1894
In this article Wells notes that the tendency to perceive every process as cyclical is "woven into the texture of our being." However, he argues, "many times this perception is of delusive — e.g., one day the sun will rise for the last time." On the cosmic level, "the main course is forward, from the things that are past and done with for ever to things that are altogether new."
Darwinian Theory, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Jan 1, 1895
A review of A. Milnes Marshall's Lectures On The Darwinian Theory, 4 which Wells considers to be "the clearest modern exposition" for the general reader. Furthemore, says Wells, "when such dark speculations as those of Weismannism" are used by the "small fry of science" to belittle Darwin, Marshall's is "a needful tribute to the memory of the greatest biologist" of all time.
Death
The Saturday Review, Mar 23, 1895
Complex organisms are mortal but "death is not inherent in living matter. Protoplasm may live forever." Nevertheless, "mortal man and the immortal protozoa have the same barren immortality; the individuals perish, living on only in their descendants...the type alone persists."
Democracy Under Revision
A lecture delivered at the Sorbonne on March 15, 1927
Reprinted in the book The Way The World Is Going (1928)
Discoveries In Variation
The Saturday Review, Mar 9, 1895
A discussion of new biometric studies of variation in species, wherein Wells observes: "Variation occurs in every direction [i.e., all possibilities are tried], with complete symmetry; it does not occur in a definite direction as if it were following some inherent tendency of the animal to develop in a particular fashion. These minute variations offer a fair field for natural selection to reject or select."
Disease Of Parliaments, The
Metropolitan Magazine, Mar 1914
Reprinted in the book An Englishman Looks At The World (1914)
Diseases Of Trees, The
The Saturday Review, Jan 19, 1895
A review of R. Hartig's book The Diseases Of Trees (1894), together with a brief discussion of plant pathology.
Dream Bureau, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Oct 25, 1893
With increasing knowledge of dream-physiology, the time approaches for investigators "to bring the control of dreaming as a fine art into the realm of possibilities." We may imagine the dream-addict someday ordering up a night's supply, of any sort he pleases.
Decadent Science
Pall Mall Gazette, Apr 5 1894
A negative critique of Henry Pratt's Principia Nova Astronomica (1894) with its "brand-new" solar system — "a very nice affair, with a Central Sun, and a Polar Sun, and an Equatorial Sun, over and above the visible sun of your vulgar astronomers."
Duration Of Life, The
The Saturday Review, Feb 23 1895
An article about the factors that determine the life span of living organisms. "The business of the animal seems to be, not to live its own life, but to reproduce its own kind, and the term of life at its disposal is adjusted accurately to the special difficulties of this purpose." The generalisation also applies to man under natural conditions.
Electricity
Pall Mall Gazette, Dec 22 1894
A review of J.A. Fleming's Electric Lamps And Electric Lighting and R. Mullineux Walmsley's The Electric Current. The one, says Wells, is a "readable volume" for nontechnical people, the other a second-hand handbook of batteries, circuitry and "professorial disregard" of "the real substance of electrical engineering" today — the dynamo.
End Of The Armament Rings, The
A pamphlet published by the World Peace Federation, New York, 1914
Excursion To The Sun
Pall Mall Gazette, Jan 6, 1894
Discusses Sir Robert Ball's book The Story of the Sun (1893). The idea of electro-magnetic tides brushing by "our little eddy of planets," unsettling our compasses, making solar storms, then passing on to "the illimitable beyond" is "so powerful and beautiful as to well-nigh justify that hackneyed phrase, 'the poetry of science'."
Europe Ten Years From Now
Liberty, Jan 21, 1939
Extinction Of Man, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Sep 25, 1894
Reprinted with a slight addition in the book Certain Personal Matters
An article in which Wells points out that the fossil record never shows "a really dominant species succeeded by it own descendants." Accordingly, he argues, Man may eventually be displaced by crustaceans, cephalopods, ants, or even plague bacilli etc., to name only a few possibilities "out of a host of others."
Fallacies Of Heredity
The Saturday Review, Dec 8,1894
In this article Wells discusses the differences between the offspring (including twins) of the same parents, which he finds one of the fascinating enigmas of heredity.

Text of a radio broadcast to Australia, Dec 29, 1938

Flat Earth Again, The
Pall Mall Gazette Apr 2, 1894
A dialogue in which a "perverse person" challenges a schoolmaster to prove the earth round. "The point is that you teach things at school as proofs the world is round that are no more proofs than they are poetry."
Flint Implements, Old and New
Pall Mall Gazette, Apr 3, 1894
A review of Worthington G. Smith's book Man The Primeval Savage (1894), which Wells recommends to the general reader for its accounts both of ancient bones and implements, and of modern forgeries of the same.
Foretelling The Future
An address delivered to the Australia-New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science, December 1938
Foundation Stone of Civilisation, The
Pall Mall Gazette, May 22, 1894
A cyclist with a tire punctured by flints listens to an old man's dissertation to the effect that primitive man's use of flintstones was "the only thing that could engender civilisation."
From An Observatory
The Saturday Review, Dec 1, 1894
Reprinted in the book Certain Personal Matters
In this article Wells envisages a world with a moon so bright that the stars are invisible and speculates on the reaction of its inhabitants if the moon failed and the existence of the stars were revealed. There is a fear of the night "that comes with knowledge, when we see in its true proportion this little life of ours."
Future Of The Monarchy, The
The Penny Pictorial Magazine, May 19 1917
The Gifts of the New Sciences: H.G. Wells Prophesies
The Strand Magazine, #398, Feb 1924
The American Magazine, Feb 1924
"The coming hundred years or so will mark a revolution in human affairs altogether more profound than that merely material revolution of which our great grandparents saw the early beginnings."
Good Intentions Of Nature Explained, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Feb 9. 1894
A review of Edith Carrington's Workers Without Wage (1893), a children's nature book which holds up to "vile" man the "lowly goodness" of the "affectionate" spider and the "patient" snail. Wells considers that hiding the cruel aspects of nature from children is bad practice.

A review of Grant Allen's book The Evolution Of The Idea Of God (1897)

Human Evolution - An Artificial Process
Fortnightly Review, Oct 1896
Because he is not as much subject to the rigors of natural selection as, say, rabbits, "man has undergone...but an infinitesimal alteration in his intrinsic nature since the age of unpolished stone," especially since civilization impedes the workings of natural selection. Civilised man is a composite of the "natural man...the culminating ape" and the "artificial man...the highly plastic creature of tradition, suggestion, and reasoned thought"; and save for the "padding of suggested emotional habits" (Wells's definition of morality), he is no different from the Paleolithic savage. Wells concludes by saying that "in Education lies the possible salvation of mankind from misery and sin" entailed by the evolutionary process.
History Is One
The Saturday Evening Post, May 3, 1919
Published as a pamphlet, Boston, 1919
Human Evolution - Mr Wells Replies
Natural Science, Apr 1897
In this article Wells defends his position on evolution against objections raised by F.H. Perry Coste in the preceding issue of Natural Science. "My interest in these theories [about the nature of man] lies chiefly in their application... After Darwin it has become inevitable that moral conceptions should be systematically restated in terms of our new conception of the material destiny of man."

Criterion Miscellany, No. 3, 1929
Influence Of Islands On Variation, The
The Saturday Review, Aug 17 1895
"Isolation on islands has played a larger part in the evolution of the animals and plants than is usually attributed to it" since this isolation, which according to modern geological findings is intermittent, gives rise in its periodicity to "an immense number of new species" among which natural selection takes place whenever the island resumes its connection with the mainland.
Informative Content Of Education, The
Text of a presidential address to the Education Section of the British Association, 1937
Insects And Flowers
The Saturday Review, Apr 6, 1895
An article about examples of pollination by various insects.
Intelligence On Mars
In this article Wells argues that if "there has been an evolution of protoplasm upon Mars, there is every reason to think that the creatures on Mars would be different from the creatures of earth, in form and function, in structure and in habit, different beyond the most bizarre imaginings of nightmare." "No phase of anthropomorphism is more naive than the supposition of men on Mars."
In The New Forest
The Saturday Review, Apr 27, 1895
An article about some of the animals to be found in the New Forest.

Life In The Abyss
Pall Mall Gazette, Feb 9, 1894
A review of Sidney J. Hickson's book The Fauna Of The Deep Sea (1893). Wells discusses some of the discoveries in a field just opening up and concludes: "our knowledge is in a very pleasant phase; enough to stimulate the imagination, and not enough to cramp its play."
Life Of Plants, The
The Saturday Review, Aug 8, 1896
In this article Wells points out that the differences between animals and plants are not so great as most people imagine. All plants have at least local motion, with the "lower forms of plant life" moving "as actively as animal protoplasm"; moreover, the process whereby plants absorb and assimilate nourishment is not so mechanical as it is usually supposed to be.
Limits Of Individual Plasticity, The
The Saturday Review, Jan 19, 1895
"There is in science... some sanction for the belief that a living thing might be taken in hand and so moulded and modified that at best it would retain scarcely anything of its inherent form and disposition; that the thread of life might be preserved unimpaired while shape and mental superstructure were so extensively recast as even to justify our regarding the result as a new variety of being." Wells argues in favor of this idea by using familiar examples, such as those drawn from surgery: "If we concede the justification of vivisection, we may imagine as possible in the future, operators, armed with antiseptic surgery and a growing perfection in the knowledge of the laws of growth, taking living creatures and moulding them into the most amazing forms."
Living Things That May Be, The
Pall Mall Gazette, June 12, 1894

A review Anton Kerner von Marilaun's The Natural History Of Plants (trans. F.W. Oliver, 1894).
Mammon
Science Schools Journal, Jan 1887
Written under the pseudoym ""Walter Glockenhammer""
Wells's thoughts on two paintings by G.F. Watts, "Mammon" and "Visit To Aesculapius;" together these canvases "signify...that this nation is, as it were, two dissevered parts...ease, elegance, and pleasure are floated to-day on an ocean of toil and ignorance and want."
Man Of The Year Million, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Nov 6, 1893
Reprinted in Certain Personal Matters (1897) as "Of A Book Unwritten"
As man evolves, says Professor Holzkopf of Weissnichtwo, "the purely 'animal' about him is being, and must be, beyond all question, suppressed in his ultimate development." He forecasts the hypertrophy of the organs of intellect—hands, head, eyes—and the atrophy of the "animal" organs—nose, external ears, digestive tract. Our descendants, immersed in nutritive baths deep underground, will survive until the sun itself burns out.
Marxism vs Liberalism - An Interview with J.V. Stalin (aka Stalin-Wells Talk)
A pamphlet, New Century Publishers, New York, Sep 1934

Reprinted in The Common Sense Of War And Peace, 1920
Mind In Animals, The
The Saturday Review, Dec 22 1894
In this review of C. Lloyd Morgan's An Introduction To Comparative Psychology (1894), Wells indicates that he has a higher opinion of animal intelligence than Morgan: "It may be that Professor Lloyd Morgan's dog, experimenting on Professor Lloyd Morgan with a dead rat or a bone, would arrive at a very low estimate indeed of the powers of the human mind."
Modern Experiments With Marriage
The New York Times, Jun 26, 1927
Modest Science, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Feb 19, 1894
A review of H.N. Dickson's book Meteorology - The Elements Of Weather And Climate (1893). Wells finds it "exceptionally entertaining," combining "the most modern conclusions" with accurate folk-knowledge of the still unpredictable ways of the weather.
Morals And Civilisation
Fortnightly Review, Feb 1897
In this article Wells argues that "we must needs regard social organization and individual morality as determining one another."
More Bacon
Pall Mall Gazette, Jun 22 1894
A review of Orville W. Owens book Francis Bacon's Cypher Story. Wells describes how Owen pasted up the pages of all of works which have at one time or another been attributed to Francis Bacon (The Faerie Queene, The Anatomy of Melancholy, Shakespeare's plays, and all the rest) and rolled them back and forth on a thousand feet of canvas until every line mated with a physically distant one to produce a secret history of Elizabethan profligacy.

Mountains Out Of Molecules
Pall Mall Gazette, Nov 29 1894

New Educational Front In England, The
Tomorrow, Nov 1941
New Optimism, The
Pall Mall Gazette, May 21, 1894
A review of Benjamin Kidd's Social Evolution (1894). Wells doubts Kidd's belief that nations survive in the struggle for existence by subordinating intellectual development to "virtue, altruism, and the habit of self-sacrifice" and questions the use of the term "optimism" for a creed which gives the future to Anglo-Saxons because they are "so stupid, so pious, so sentimental."
New Rights Of Man, The
Haldeman-Julius Publications, Girard, Kansas, 1942
A 30-page pamphlet containing the text of letter to Wells from the Soviet writer Lev Uspensky, who pictures the ordeal and rescue of humanistic civilization, H.G. Wells' reply, and his program for liberated humanity.
On Comparative Theology
The Saturday Review, Feb 12, 1898
A review of Grant Allen's The Evolution Of The Idea Of God (1897) and of an anonymous work about the Kabbalah called The Canon (1897). Wells recommends Allen's book as one "certainly...to be read," but disagrees with Allen's notion that man could have come in only one way to the worship of God.
On Extinction
Chambers's Journal, Sep 3, 1893
The loneliest of pinnacles is man's present triumph. Visions of the future must include the doom described by Thomas Hood in "The Last Man": "the earth desert through a pestilence, and two men, and then one man, looking extinction in the face."
Origin Of The Senses, The
The Saturday Review, May 9, 1896

Polyphloisballsanskittlograph, The
Pall Mall Gazette, May 8, 1894
An article spoofing apparatuses of unknown function exhibited by unintelligible foreigners at Royal Society soirées.
Popularising Science
Nature, July 26, 1894
In this article Wells criticises how scientists usually go about popularising science, for example, by using language that is either too technical or condescendingly simplistic. "Intelligent common people come to scientific books...for problems to exercise their minds upon... There is a keen pleasure in seeing a previously unexpected generalisation skilfully developed."
Position Of Psychology, The
The Saturday Review, Dec 29, 1894
Wells uses George Trumbull Ladd's book Psychology, Descriptive And Explanatory (1894) to launch an attack on the state of contemporary psychology, which he regards as being weighed down by unscientific assumptions.
Possible Individuality Of Atoms, The
The Saturday Review, Sep 5, 1896
In this article Wells argues that the fact that oxygen responds in more than one way to spectroscopic analysis means "that there are two kinds of oxygen, one with an atom a little heavier than the other. And this opens one's eyes to an amazing possibility...that, after all, atoms might not be all exactly alike, that they might have individuality, just as animals have."
Problem Of The Troublesome Collaborator, The

A discussion of the controversy surrounding the discovery of argon.
Province Of Pain, The
Science and Art, Feb 1894
In this article Wells discusses the gradations of animal and human pain and concludes that "the province of pain" may be no more than "a phase through which life must pass on its evolution from the automatic to the spiritual."
Pygmy Philosophy
Pall Mall Gazette, Apr 11, 1895
A review of Armand de Quatrefages's book The Pygmies (trans. Frederick Starr, 1895). Wells criticises the author's efforts "to establish the high moral standards of these primitive people, and to imply the primordial elevation of humanity."
Rate Of Change In Species, The
The Saturday Review, Dec 15, 1894
In this article Wells argues that that the rate of change in species, and hence their "plasticity," varies in direct proportion to their fecundity and the span between generations. Thus "The true heirs of the future are the small, fecund, and precocious creatures... No doubt man is the lord of the whole earth to-day, but the lordship of the future is another matter."
Reasonable Man's Peace, A
A pamphlet published by the National Council of Civil Liberties, 1917
Reconstruction Of The Fabian Society
A pamphlet printed privately for the Fabian Society, 1906
Rediscovery Of The Unique, The (1891)
The Fortnightly Review, Jul 1891
Science, by making available the technological means for measuring minute differences among apparently similar phenomena, substantiates the contention that "All being is unique, or, nothing is strictly like anything else."
Reminiscences Of A Planet
Pall Mall Gazette, Jan 15, 1894
A review of Thomas Bonney's book The Story Of Our Planet (1893), which Wells commends an "able and popular exposition of modern geology."
Report

Pall Mall Gazette, Mar 13, 1895
A review of Sir Archibald Geikie's Memoir Of Sir A.C. Ramsay (1895), in which (according to Wells) one eminent geologist shuffles the life of another into a detritus "shaken up together and thrown down before the reader."
Scepticism Of The Instrument, The
Mind, Jul 1904
A paper delivered to the Oxford Philosophical Society on Nov 8, 1903
Also published (in an abridged and emended form) as an appendix to the book A Modern Utopia (1905)
Wells mistrusts the uniformity of formal logic because: (1) it classifies "uniques as identically similar objects" under some term that automatically accumulates a specious significance thereby; (2) "it can only deal freely with negative terms by treating them as though they were positive", and (3) it projects onto the same plane ideas which in fact are stratified at various levels of meaning and thus renders contradictory notions whose real relation to one another is complementary. In Wells' universe of uniques, "ethical, social and religious teaching [come] into the province of poetry." Since philosophy, too, is self-expression, this essay contains much autobiographical material.
Science, In School And After School
Nature, Sep 27 1894
A critique of the predominant approach to teaching science, which inculcates facts, but not the method of discovery.

Pall Mall Gazette, May, 3 1894

Sun God And The Holy Stars, The
Pall Mall Gazette, Feb 24 1894
In this review of Norman Lockyer's book The Dawn Of Astronomy (1894) Wells focuses on man's early closeness to the cycles of the sun and the stars. Now, Wells adds, churches look onto gas-lit streets where "the Great Democracy circulates for ever" and "the silent and eternal stars are forgotten."

Visibility Of Change In The Moon, The
Knowledge, Oct 1895
