About this Book Scan
Carefully scanned in full colour from the better of our two original printings of the first edition of 1916.
Saturn the Reaper was one of three short books written by Alan Leo towards the end of his life focusing individually on the planets from Mars to Saturn. All three were based on the text of public lectures he had given on these planets. Scans of his books on Mars and Jupiter are separately available for download from Astrolearn.
