Paperback. Condition: New. Founded as the Astronomical Society of London in 1820, this illustrious organisation received its royal charter in 1831. It has counted some of the world's greatest astronomers among its members, most notably its first president, Sir William Herschel, whose family archive forms part of its extensive library.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the first century of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) founded 1820 in London. It describes its beginnings, aspirations and eventual position as the UK hub for astronomers. Its early aims, still reflected in its activities today, were to reform the Nautical Almanac, provide a forum for reading and discussing papers and to educate aspiring astronomers. The book uses archival records including journals and letters of the key figures involved, such as its founder William Pearson. It details debates about the choice of its first president, the influence of Sir Joseph Banks and the philosophy driving the groups who established it. RAS was formed at a time when there was a growing public interest in astronomy, and its founders had a vision of a society that would promote the study of astronomy in all its branches. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of astronomy or the RAS, and provides a fascinating insight into the development of astronomy in the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
