Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Supplement to the Account of the Revd. John Flamsteed, the First Astronomer-Royal
That Flamsteed showed an unwillingness, and even an objection, to fur nish Newton with the requisite lunar observations to enable him to perfect that theory; a reluctance which consequently endangered the completion of that important work.
That similar feelings induced Flamsteed to raise frivolous and vexatious objections to the printing of his astronomical observations, when it was after wards undertaken by the Government: and that the delay was occasioned solely by his own misconduct.
