Transcription
Hodgson has read the two books from astronomer John Flamsteed. He judges that they do not warrant strict perusal, as other authors have covered the same subject better. James Hodgson (bap. 1678?, d. 1755) was a mathematician. He was an assistant to the astronomer John Flamsteed from 1695 and the cousin of the architect Sir Christopher Wren (Frances Willmoth, ‘Hodgson, James (bap. 1678?, d. 1755)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2009 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/13437, accessed 15 Aug 2014]).
