Morgan's library is indeed magnificent, but I wonder how much time he spent there; it seems more a museum than a library. (And replacing the slender garden with some building that can be seen on any third-rate university campus was a shame.) The three-sun solar system is interesting, and only 5,000,000 years old at most; we're not waiting about for planets to form, I hope. I feel bad for the Palace of Minerals; I wonder if someone has King Coal and Queen Silver in their garden. And why was King Coal subtitled 'of Trinidad'?
