Samuel Birley Rowbotham advances the Flat Earth theory, which holds
that Earth is not in fact an oblate spheroid planet, but an
enclosed plane above which the astronomical bodies are situated.
This premium edition contains all of Rowbotham's original graphs,
charts and drawings. This book began as a pamphlet in the 1840s,
explaining the theory with a few sketches alongside. Rowbotham was
already an inventor and author, and over time theories of Zetetic
Astronomy - in which the Earth is flat - became popular. In 1881
the author expanded and published this book, in part to meet public
and scientific scrutiny. Experiments and demonstrations are
conducted in support of the Earth being flat, with the astronomical
bodies situated above, rather than around it. Most of these are
framed with illustrations and diagrams, that the reader understands
Rowbotham's notions. Various chapters concern motion of the
heavenly bodies, sunrises, sunsets, the tidal movements, and
distances of the Sun and Moon from Earth.
