The Starry Hosts

The Starry Hosts: A Plea For The Habitation Of The Planets is a book written by Joseph Hamilton in 1875. The book is a passionate argument for the existence of life on other planets in our solar system. Hamilton draws on scientific evidence and philosophical reasoning to support his claim that the planets in our solar system are not barren and lifeless, but instead are home to intelligent beings.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the argument for extraterrestrial life. Hamilton begins by discussing the history of astronomy and the discovery of the planets in our solar system. He then goes on to examine the conditions necessary for life to exist on a planet, such as the presence of water, a suitable atmosphere, and a stable climate.Hamilton also delves into the philosophical implications of the existence of life on other planets. He argues that the discovery of extraterrestrial life would have profound implications for our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. He also discusses the possibility of communication with other intelligent beings and the potential benefits that could come from such interactions.Overall, The Starry Hosts is a thought-provoking and engaging exploration of the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Hamilton's arguments are well-researched and well-articulated, making this book a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the existence of life beyond our own planet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
