As of November 2020, OCLC 792893248 and 1046459952 give three solid institutional holdings (Boston Public Library-Leventhal Map & Education Center, National Geographic Society and Yale). The entry for an example at the American Geographic Society Library in Milwaukee appears to be a modern reproduction. The map recently featured in Garrett Dash Nelson et al., Bending Lines: Maps and Data from Distortion to Deception,an exhibition at the Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Boston Public Library. Is it any wonder that Alexander Gleason of No. 1201 Niagara street, is making an effort to prove that the earth is flat? Nowadays nothing seems impossible to a Buffalonian. When Mr. Gleason has successfully demonstrated his theory in regard to our planet, he will doubtless take possession of the earth in the name of his native city.” ( The Buffalo Commercial, Nov. 21, 1890, p. 7) He was a retired merchant, apparently living in poverty until accepted for residency in Morden College. The principal arguments advanced by the flat earth theorists are that a ship might seem to sail around a ball when it merely sailed around a circle; that all the effects of day and night could be produced by a fixed sun shining down upon a circular earth revolving like a card on a pin, and that the longest rivers have a descent of only a few feet.

I have come to Paris to find my glory and my grave,’—a proof that he considered his dramas as his chief productions [of life], and, in truth, dramatic works were his last labors. The circumstances of his death have been related differently, but it is certain that Voltaire died without receiving the sacrament in the eighty-fifth year of his age, May 30, 1778. The Archbishop of Paris is said to

The shadow [earth] casts on the moon during an eclipse is round, regardless of where the moon is in the sky,” Steffen said. But I am still curious about the connection on Gleason's map with " From a Projection of" , "J.S. Christopher" , and "Modern College". Goldhaber-Gordon said GPS is “based on not only an (approximately) spherical earth but also the special and general theories of relativity” that “would make no sense in any flat earth picture,” which is why anyone using GPS is relying on the roundness of the earth. Remember, what the apostle Paul said, "but test (or prove) everything; hold fast what is good!" (1 Thes 5:21 ESV)

In all, a great rarity of late-19 th century pseudoscience, raising intriguing questions of authorship and intellectual antecedents. From the registered patent, he never mentioned that the Earth is flat. On the contrary, he said that he made the map from a globe, which explains how a north-pole centered azimuthal equidistant map is designed. References Gleason’s map could conceptually be made by placing a flat horizontal paper just above a translucent globe whose north pole is at the top; then placing a bright LED at the south pole and making each feature according to where its shadow falls on the paper,” Goldhaber-Gordon said. If you're looking for the perfect anniversary or housewarming gift, I can personalise your map to make it truly unique. For example, I can add a short message, or highlight an important location, or add your family's coat of arms. Please Note: I want everyone to understand that I do NOT agree with everything in some of these posts. So watch the videos, glean out the good and trash the bad parts. As believers, we are not going to agree on all things but should agree to love one another. It's the Lord's job to judge, not ours. Don't let anything disturb your faith. If something bothers you, take it to the Lord before you take any action. Sometimes it can take months before you can confidently move forward with something spiritual, even the flat earth. Remember: Col_3:17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.Steffen also said that individuals can perform a similar experiment using geometry and Polaris, or the north star, as a function of latitude. Bob Schadewald, The Plane Truth, chap. 4 ( “The Universal Zetetic Society”), published posthumously on line, 2015 To make sense of all this one must refer to Gleason’s Is the Bible from Heaven? Is the Earth a Globe? (Buffalo: Buffalo Electrotype and Engraving Co., 1890, with an enlarged 2nd ed. in 1893). There he marshals Scripture, quirky interpretations of physical science, shoddy observation, and dollops of “common sense” to argue that the Earth is flat, stationary and the center of the cosmos. Late in the work he announces and describes his new map:
