The correct name of the publication was "Earth Not A Globe Review" Published around the 1890's by the Universal Zetetic Society which was founded by one Lady Blount, a devotee of Samuel Rowbothams ideas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546929082315901309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478265847103910886.post-82178657407453496022016-11-28T21:46:47.753+00:002016-11-28T21:46:47.753+00:00Actually, the link is to Winckler, who appeared to...Actually, the link is to Winckler, who appeared to be a CE in Canada, who published several articles in Earth-Not a Globe-Review, including one in the October, 1893, number on the distance to the Sun. However, that doesn't appear to be the source of this quote. And some work does indicate that G.W. Winckler did exist.<br /><br />The basis of the quote is from a regular letter writer to the Earth Review, one A. Hottentot, who quotes it, but without the 'square the circle' addition (which Dubay appears to have added himself). Hottentot does not give a citation, merely indicates that Winckler wrote it, perhaps in an earlier number of the Earth Review.<br /><br />However, the quote indicates both writers' ignorance about leveling for construction, and poor understanding of the nature of the planet and curved planets, as you have previously discussed.Tom Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718186670514442666noreply@blogger.com
