"Mr. Carpenter seems to have made a thorough investigation of the subject, and his arguments are practical and to the point."--Sunday Mercury, Philadelphia, June 13, 1886. "A gentleman has just called at the editorial rooms with a pamphlet which is designed to demonstrate that the earth is not a globe, but a flat disk; he also laid before us a chart from which it plainly appeared that the earth is a circular expanse of land, with the north pole in the exact center, and the Antarctic Sea flowing all around the land.... We went on to state that we lodged the care of all astronomical questions in the hands of Rev. R. M. Luther, to whom these perplexing matters are but as child's play.... Our readers may, therefore, expect at an early date a judicial view of the astronomical and cosmological situation."--National Baptist, Philadelphia, July 8, 1886. Editor, Dr. Wayland. [We hope that the Rev. R. M. Luther will give us the means of publishing his decision before many more editions of the "Hundred Proofs" be issued. We are afraid that he finds the business much more than "child's play."] "'One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is Not a Globe,' by William Carpenter, is published by the author, whose novel and rather startling position is certainly fortified by a number of argumentative points, which, if they do not shake the reader's preconceived notions on the subject, will, at least, be found entertaining for the style in which they are put."--Evening Star, Philadelphia, July 22, 1886. "His 'Proofs' go a long way towards convincing many that his ideas on the subject are practical and sensible."--Fashion Journal, Philadelphia, July, 1886. Editor, Mrs. F. E. Benedict. "'One Hundred Proofs that the Earth is Not a Globe' is a curious little pamphlet that we can commend to all interested in astronomy and related sciences. It may not upset received notions on the subject, but will give cause for much serious reflection. Published by the author, Wm. Carpenter, Baltimore, Md. Price 25 cents."--The Saturday Evening Post, Philadelphia, July 31, 1886.
