Thomas William Webb (1807 1885) was an Oxford-educated English
clergyman whose deep interest in astronomy and accompanying field
observations eventually led to the publication of his Celestial
Objects for Common Telescopes in 1859. An attempt 'to furnish the
possessors of ordinary telescopes with plain directions for their
use, and a list of objects for their advantageous employment', the
book was popular with amateur stargazers for many decades to
follow. Underlying Webb's celestial field guide and directions on
telescope use was a deep conviction that the heavens pointed
observers 'to the most impressive thoughts of the littleness of
man, and of the unspeakable greatness and glory of the Creator'. A
classic and well-loved work by a passionate practitioner, the
monograph remains an important landmark in the history of
astronomy, as well as a tool for use by amateurs and professionals
alike.
