Presentative bookplate from William Bew to Enfield Public Library on front paste down. Bookplate of 'Enfield Public Library' on front endpaper. Title-page is embossed with seal of Enfield Public Library. This is the much rarer, substantially expanded second edition, with 126 pages more text. A very interesrting book for a number of reasons. In it Smyth argued that the "Great Pyramid, though in Egypt, is not of Egypt: and though built in the earliest ages of man upon earth, far before all history, was yet prophetically intended to subserve a high purpose for these days in which we live, and the coming days. That is, the Great Pyramid, has never been even remotely understood yet by any race of men, though it has been a standing riddle guessed at by all of them in their successive ages." He, Smyth, "by aid of the mathematical and physical science of modern times", has deciphered the Pyramid's meaning. Includes, for example, the following: Geographical Indications in the Great Pyramid / British Metrology, Past and Present / Pyramid Weight Measure / Heat and Pressure, Angle, Money, Time / The Sacred Cubit of the Hebrews / Moses and the Wsidom of the Egyptians / Sacred and Prophetic, Time / Hierologists and Chronologists etc. Detailed illustrations of pyramid design and structure engraved by Alex Ritchie of Edindurgh. Charles Piazzi Smyth FRSE FRS FRAS FRSSA (3 January 1819 21 February 1900) was the Astronomer Royal for Scotland from 1846 to 1888. In 1880 he received the Macdougal-Brisbane Prize after constructing a map of the solar-spectrum. Charles advanced the science of Spectroscopy; started the first time signal from Calton Hill; organised over fifty meteorological stations in Scotland; and made numerous astronomical experiments. He also helped establish the practice of locating telescopes and astronomical observatories at high altitudes in order. The crater Piazzi Smyth on the moon is named after him. In parallel with his mainstream work, Smyth was very interested in the construction, dimensions, and purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It is with the Great Pyramid of Giza that his name will always be remembered. In the early 1860s he became convinced that the dimensions of the Great Pyramid demonstrated that it had been built using a unit of measurement almost equal to the British inch, that it encoded the dimensions of the earth and the solar system, and that consequently, its construction was divinely inspired. John Taylor, an eccentric British publisher, claimed that the architect who had planned and supervised the building of the Great Pyramid was not an Egyptian at all, but none other than the biblical Noah. Smyth believed this, and he and his wife went to Egypt to carry out scientific measurements to proved the 'theory.' In doing so, he made the most accurate measurements of the Great Pyramid that any explorer had made up to that time. He was a pioneer of indoor photography and the photographs he took inside the Great Pyramid, using a magnesium light, are some of the earliest known. Amongst his various publications were, Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid and, later, Life and Work at the Great Pyramid (Robert P. Crease 'Pyramid Metrologists,' Physics World website). Smyth claimed that the measurements he obtained from the Great Pyramid of Giza indicated a unit of length, the pyramid inch, equivalent to 1.001 British inches, that could have been the standard of measurement by the pyramid's architects. From this he extrapolated a number of other measurements, including the pyramid pint, the sacred cubit, and the pyramid scale of temperature. Because the pyramid inch was a divine unit of measurement, Smyth, a committed proponent of British Israelism (the pseudo-archaeological/philological belief that the Anglo-Saxon British werd descended from one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel), used his conclusions as an argument against the introduction of the metric system in Britain. For much of his life he was a vocal opponent of the metric system, which he considered a product of the minds of atheistic French radicals, a position advocated in many of his works. (Wikipedia) Smyth returned, his Royal Society colleagues were unimpressed and demolished his numerology, finding errors in his work. In 1874 he resigned his Fellowship of the Royal Society when they refused to publish his papers on pyramid research; but there are still hundreds of entries under his name in the Royal Society s Catalogue of Scientific Papers ('Piazzi Pyramid Grave, St John's, Sharow website).
