2017 Reprint of 1901 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. This curious work on 'Flat Earth Theory' was originally published in 1901.

Chapters include:

I. Introductory Remarks II. The Adamic Creation III. The Nebular Hypothesis. Examination of Three Alleged Proofs That the World Is Globular IV. Remarks on Some Other Alleged Proofs of the World's Globularity V. The World Circular But Not Globular; Has Immovable Foundations, Therefore Not a Planet VI.
