"This can only be described as an extraordinary book .... His arguments are certainly plausible and ingenious, and even the reader who does not agree with him will find a singular interest and fascination in analyzing the 'one hundred proofs.'...

During the nineteenth century, William Carpenter, an English printer and author, gained recognition as a supporter of the flat Earth theory which holds that the Earth is not a globe. He was a proponent of English writer Samuel Rowbotham who produced a pamphlet, under the pseudonym Parallax, called Zetetic Astronomy.
This new edition, presented in large type for enhanced readability, also includes "Experiments proving the Earth to be a Plane" by Parallax.
