A micro-film of the journals was held by the University of Western Ontario, and a few individual issues are scattered in libraries. A slice of extraordinarily enlightening literature detailing the concept of earth as circular plane and its late nineteenth century revival. After Parallax's (Samuel Rowbotham's nom de plume) death in 1884 his followers carried on the crusade. The Universal Zetetic Society founded in 1890, published this journal with a thousand subscribers. The society remained active well into the twentieth century, declining after World War I. "The Earth Not a Globe Review. A Magazine of Cosmographical Science" (later subtitled, "A Magazine of Scientific Information") was the official organ of the Universal Zetetic Society, established by Lady Elizabeth Ann Mould Blount in 1893. It continued the zetetic campaign to prove the Earth flat and stationary; in general, shaped as disc with perimeter of southern walls of ice and mountains known as Antarctica w/sun, moon, and heavens rotating above. Lady Blount, wife of Sir Walter de Sodrington Blount, later founded and edited the journal "Earth" from 1900 to 1904. The term 'zetetic' originates from "proceeding by inquiry," 1640's, from Modern Latin zeteticus, from Greek zetetikos "searching, inquiring," from zetetos, verbal adjective of zetein "seek for, inquire into." William Carpenter, a significant contributor to this collection, published "One Hundred Proofs That the Earth Not a Globe" in 1885 prior to these journals. 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 disc-shaped 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 psuedonym of 'Common Sense'. He later emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland and in 1885. Finally, there was the leaflet journal "Carpenter's Folly" of which only a few ephemeral issues, possibly just two, though several or many for each issue, were printed in 1887. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
