A leading figure in the final phases of the seventeenth-century scientific revolution, John Flamsteed's extensive correspondence with 129 British and foreign scholars touches on many of the scientific discussions of the day. This title contains the letters Flamsteed wrote and received from June 1682 to the spring of 1703. "For all the trauma of a midlife crisis read this book. It's riveting."
-New Scientist, April 19, 1997

"Once again the editors, past and present, and the publishers are to be thoroughly congratulated on setting right 300 years of neglect of perhaps the most unjustly and persistently maligned figure in astronomical history."
-Journal of the British Astronomy Association
