Arundell Blount Whatton
Jeremiah Horrox (1618–1641) was one of the most interesting astronomers Britain has produced, and he influenced Newton and Flamsteed with his posthumously published work. This memoir of 1859, part of a Victorian revival of interest in Horrox, includes a translation of his treatise on the transit of Venus.
