The doctrine of the sphericity of the earth was still held by the more learned, but the heads of the church held it to be unscriptural.

Lambert, indeed, seems to have believed in the sphericity of the earth.

The doctrine of the sphericity of 1 Ein mathematisches Handbuch der alten Aegypter (Leipzig, 1877).

For example, as he says, the sphericity of the moon is the real ground of the fact of its light waxing; but we can deduce either from the other, as follows: - i.

The deviation of the earths figure from sphericity, and the variation of g with latitude, are here ignored.

In particular, Plato taxes Parmenides with his inconsistency in attributing (as he certainly did) to the fundamental unity extension and sphericity, so that "the worshipped dv is after all a pitiful j.) " (W.

sphericity of the earth.

sphericity assumptions have been violated, and independent contrasts cannot be computed.

He demonstrated the sphericity of the ' A concise sketch of the whole history of geographical method or theory as distinguished from the history of geographical discovery (see later section of this article) is only to be found in the introduction to H.

Lambert, indeed, seems to have believed in the sphericity of the earth.

In the same way, the elementary conception of the sphere involves the idea of sphericity, which would be tested in a similar way, and is in fact so tested, at an early stage by tactual perception, and at a more advanced stage by mechanical methods; the next step being the circularity of the central section, as roughly tested (where the sphere is small) by visual perception, i.e.

All three, in context, clearly refer to the sphericity of the earth.

However, when this happens, the compound symmetry and sphericity assumptions have been violated, and independent contrasts cannot be computed.
