COPY OF LETTER FROM RICHARD A. PROCTOR, ESQ.
5 Montague Street, Russell Square, London, W.C., 12 Dec., 1885.
W. Carpenter, Esq., Baltimore.
Dear Sir,—I am obliged to you for the copy of your “One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is not a Globe,” and for the evident kindness of your intention in dedicating the work to me. The only further remark it occurs to me to offer is that I call myself rather a student of astronomy than an astronomer.
Yours faithfully,
RICHARD A. PROCTOR.
P.S. Perhaps the pamphlet might more precisely be called “One hundred difficulties for young students of astronomy.”
