Thomas Glanville Taylor (1804-1848) was a promising assistant at the Royal Observatory before appointed Director of the East India Company's observatory at Madras in 1830.

Book First Edition
First edition Folio, pp.[iv], 8, cclxxii. With an engraved vignette of the Madras Observatory on title-page. Re-bound in half calf, cloth boards, raised bands and gilt ornament on spine. Light stain to edge of title, and lower corner of title torn. Otherwise a very good copy. This volume condensed into one book the "Result of astronomical observations made at. Madras for 1831-39" published earlier in five separate volumes. More importantly, it also corrected errors discovered in the transit circle instrument used for determining the time when stars passed the meridian. Thomas Glanville Taylor was appointed Director of the Madras Observatory in 1830 following work at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich under John Pond. Pond's successor as Astronomer Royal, Sir George Airy, praised this work as "the greatest catalogue of modern times it bears the palm from all others" for the number of observations made (11,105), the number and distribution of stars observed, and for producing the first such results made with satisfactory accuracy anywhere in the Tropics - Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Vol. XIV (1854), p.145). Campbell p.201.
