‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "One of Lockyer's major book which describes the most developed form of the hypothesis and its significance for celestial spectroscopy... Perhaps the most far-reaching of Lockyer's ideas was his meteoritic hypothesis, which is one of the most comprehensive schemes of inorganic evolution ever devises and which led him to conceptions far in advance of those prevalent in his day. It may be summed up in his own words : All self-luminous bodies in the celestial spaces are composed either of swarms of meteorites or of masses of meteoritic vapour produced by heat".
