Account of the Revd. John Flamsteed, the First Astronomer-Royal - To Which Is Added, His British Catalogue of Stars, Corrected

Klappentext Flamsteed's edited papers, published in 1835, over a century after his death, restored his reputation as a meticulous observational astronomer. Zusammenfassung John Flamsteed (1646–1719), the first Astronomer Royal, complied a 'Catalogue of British Stars' but quarrelled with Newton and Halley over his failure to publish it. In 1835 Francis Baily (1774–1844) published Flamsteed's edited papers, with a revised version of the catalogue, rehabilitating his reputation and promoting observational astronomy. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Catalogue of Flamsteed's manuscripts; Part I. Containing Flamsteed's History of his Own Life; Appendix; Part II. Containing the British Catalogue, etc.; Supplement 1837.
