Flamsteed was an English astronomer and was appointed the first Astronomer Royal who catalogued over 3000 stars. From an early age on, he was very interested in astronomy and in 1665, at the age of nineteen, he wrote his first paper on this subject, Mathematical Essays . In 1670, he became an undergraduate at Jesus College in Cambridge, and later became a deacon. In March 1675, he was called to London and was appointed the King s Astronomical Observator with an annual allowance of £100. In June 1675, a Royal Warrant granted the founding of the Royal Greenwich Observatory and in August, Flamsteed laid the foundation stone. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1676, and eventually moved into the Observatory where he lived until 1684 when he was appointed priest to the parish of Burstow, Surrey. He lived there until his death in 1719. Flamsteed spent 40 years observing and cataloguing stars for his own star catalogue but, afraid to risk his reputation, he kept his findings under lock in Greenwich where they were discovered and published by Newton in 1712 in a pirated star catalogue. Flamsteed, himself uncertain of his findings, obtained 300 of the 400 copies and burned them. In 1725, his version of Historia Coelestis Britannica was published posthumously, containing his own observations of almost 3000 stars with greater accuracy than any other previously known work. in 1729, his wife Margaret published his Atlas Coelestis , followed by a French edition. One of the moon craters has been named after Flamsteed as well as an asteroid.

Oblong 8vo. 1 p. Previously unknown payment certificate for his assistant Joseph Crosthwait, written to the Ordnance Office: "I doe hereby certify that Joseph Crosthwaite has been employed as an extraordinary laborer under me from the last day of December past to the last day of March of this present year 1712 at the Observatory in Greenwich Park by Order of the Board. Being 90 days at 18 d a day - 6.15.00". "A number of similar documents, certifying Crosthwait's quarterly pay at various times, survives in different institutions (though they should properly be part of the Public Records)" (Forbes, p. 931, citing a total of seven known specimens in the Library of the British Astronomical Association, London, Staatsbibliothek Berlin, Edinburgh University Library, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Columbia University Libraries, and at a 1983 Drouot Sale. - Flamsteed, the first Astronomer Royal, catalogued more than 3000 stars, accurately calculated the solar eclipses of 1666 and 1668, and was responsible for several of the earliest recorded sightings of the planet Uranus. Joseph Crosthwait was his longest serving assistant, remaining with the Observatory from 1708 until Flamsteed's death in 1719. At this point, the whole of the first volume of Flamsteed's "Historia Coelestis Britannica" had been printed together with much of the second. Crosthwait saw the second volume through to completion and organised the preparation and printing of the third. - Cf. Eric C. Forbes (ed.), The Correspondence of John Flamsteed (Bristol/Philadelphia 2002), vol. 3, p. 930f.
