| Publisher Description: This volume is a rare addition for those with a keen interest in the history of Astronomy. It contains an Account of the life of the Rev.d John Flamsteed FRS., compiled from his own manuscripts, and other authentic documents by Francis Baily Esq. As Astronomer Royal, Flamsteed spent some forty years observing and making meticulous records for his star catalogue, which would eventually triple the number of entries in Tycho Brahe's sky atlas. |
