Pseudonym of an unidentified late-nineteenth-century UK author (? - ) whose Platonia: A Tale of Other Worlds (1893) presents its narrator with an ancient design for a Spaceship which takes him to the planet Platonista, located this side of Mars, where an oddity of the atmosphere permits telescopic perusal of our world (see Time Viewer) as it was 100 years before: a hindsight perspective sometimes found in the Scientific Romance.
