William Carpenter presents here his evidence in "One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Not a Globe." Carpenter lived from 1830 -1896. A printer from Greenwich, England, he was a leading proponent of the concept of earth as relatively plane-like and circular in design. As an accolyte of English writer Samuel Rowbotham (1816-1885), or 'Parallax,' they produced the pamphlet "Zetetic Astronomy" in 1849. In 1864, Carpenter published "Theoretical Astronomy Examined and Exposed - Proving the Earth not a Globe" utilizing the pseudonym of 'Common Sense'. He later emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland and in 1885 first published this volume: "A Hundred Proofs the Earth is not a Globe." The one hundred numbered proofs are laid out over the first twenty-six pages of this volume and are indexed as follows: "1. The aeronuat sees for himself; 2. Standing water is Level; 3.
