It will be an invaluable research tool, not only for historians of astronomy, but also for researchers examining how scientific thought developed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second volume contains the letters Flamsteed wrote and received from June 1682 to the spring of 1703. A leading figure in the final phases of the seventeenth-century scientific revolution, his extensive correspondence with 129 British and foreign scholars touches on many of the scientific discussions of the day. Some of these exchanges involved established correspondents, chiefly Newton and Wallis, but members of a younger generation, such as Stephen Gray, William Derham, and Abraham Sharp, appear with increasing frequency, especially after 1700. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe last volume of the set includes letters from 451 to 1250.","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616398622871,"sku":"9780750308199","price":105610.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780750308199.webp?v=1775113094","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-correspondence-of-john-flamsteed-the-first-astronomer-royal-9780750308199","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
