One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe: The 1885 Flat-Earth Theory Classic

By William Carpenter

"The Earth on which we live and move seems to be flat." One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Is Not a Globe was published by the author, William Carpenter, in 1885 as a pamphlet and sold for 25 cents. In it, Carpenter challenges the prevailing notion that the Earth is a globe. Although it may not overturn established beliefs, it provides an entertaining and informative peek into the past about how scientific theories were created and challenged, and how what we view today as the ridiculous or absurd were once considered (by some) factual. A few of the arguments presented in Carpenter's book: A person flying in a balloon can observe the flatness of the Earth's surface. If the Earth were a globe, people--except those on the top--would, certainly, have to be "fastened" to its surface by some means or other Lighthouses can be seen from great distances, which wouldn't be possible if the Earth were curved. A journey down Chesapeake Bay reveals a flat horizon. The compass works consistently on a flat surface. Carpenter was originally from Greenwich, England and later emigrated to Baltimore, where he became a proponent of the flat Earth theory and published this work. This title will make a great gift for the Flat Earth enthusiasts or an entertaining addition to your own obscure or vintage book collection. Sneak Peek "Every man in full command of his senses knows that a level surface is a flat or horizontal one; but astronomers tell us that the true level is the curved surface of a globe! They know that man requires a level surface on which to live, so they give him one in name which is not one in fact! Since this is the best that astronomers, with their theoretical science, can do for their fellow creatures--deceive them--it is clear that things are not as they say they are; and, in short, it is a proof that Earth is not a globe."
