evidently George Manville Fenn (1831-1909), prolific English novelist, journalist, editor and educationalist. Fenn and his family lived at Syon Lodge, Isleworth, Middlesex, where he built up a library of 25,000 volumes and took up telescope making. His The Star-Gazers (1894) was a three-volume “astronomical romance” for adults. (wikipedia)
aside —
I cannot recall how I surmised this piece was penned by Fenn, who was editor of Once a Week, unless it be the introduction to its first installment, in the issue of March 21, 1874, at page 259. (Will revise if clarity comes.) -
