The book titled ''The Cause Of The Supposed Proper Motion Of The Fixed Stars: And An Explanation Of The Apparent Acceleration Of The Moon�������s Mean Motion'' was written by Alfred Wilks Drayson and was published in 1874. The book presents Drayson’s research and theories regarding the movement of the stars and the moon. In the book, Drayson attempts to explain the supposed proper motion of the fixed stars and the apparent acceleration of the moon’s mean motion. He proposes that these phenomena are caused by the movement of the Earth through space, rather than any actual motion of the stars or moon. Drayson’s theories are based on his observations of the night sky and his understanding of the laws of physics. He presents his arguments in a clear and concise manner, making the book accessible to both scientists and lay readers. Overall, ''The Cause Of The Supposed Proper Motion Of The Fixed Stars: And An Explanation Of The Apparent Acceleration Of The Moon�������s Mean Motion'' is an important work in the field of astronomy and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of scientific thought.With Other Geometrical Problems In Astronomy Hitherto Unsolved, A Sequel To The Glacial Epoch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
