Zetetic Astronomy is an 1881 treatise by Samuel Birley Rowbotham. Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816 - 1884) was an English writer and inventor. He is most famous \"Zetetic Astronomy,\" an idea that the Earth is not spherical, but an enclosed plane centred at the North Pole and encircled by a wall of ice. According to Rowbotham, the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars are only a few hundred miles above the Earth. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Flat Earth theory, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: \"Introduction-Experiments proving the Earth to be a Plane,\" \"The Earth no Axial or Orbital Motion,\" \"The True Distance of the Sun and Stars,\" \"The Sun moves in a Circle over the Earth, concentric with the North Pole,\" \"Diameter of Sun's path Constantly Changing,\" \"Causes of Day and Night, Seasons, &c.,\" \"Cause of 'Sun Rise' and 'Sun Set',\" etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
