The opening of the text sets the stage for an exciting exploration of Mars and the rich history of its observation. Lowell reflects on the spirit of adventure in exploration, drawing parallels between terrestrial and celestial quests for knowledge. He emphasizes the necessity of selecting optimal conditions for astronomical observations, particularly in remote desert locations. The introduction signifies a departure into the study of Mars, hinting at both the practical challenges faced by astronomers and the intellectual pursuit of understanding a planet that bears hints of life and civilization through its unique markings.
