First published in 1895, this volume contains a series of arguments against the idea that the world is round. The belief that the Earth is flat and not a globe existed in many ancient civilisations, but we now know that this is not true. However, even today there are those who believe in a flat earth, just as there was when ideas of a spherical earth were relatively new. Within this book, the author explains why these new ideas of the planet as a globe are absurd, with interesting examples and explanations as to precisely why. Highly recommended for those with an interest in Flat Earth theory and the history of astronomy. Contents include: āShips 'Going Down!'ā, āHow Much Loner Will it Be?ā, āAbsurd Theory!ā, āNo Proof to be Hadā, āWhen the Man Has Time!ā, āEarth A Globeā, āThe Scientific Wager of 1870ā, āOur Opponents Ways and Meansā, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book today in an affordable, modern edition complete with the original text and artwork.
