''A Letter to Martin Folkes: Concerning the Rise and Progress of Astronomy Amongst the Ancients'' is a book written by George Costard and published in 1746. The book is a letter addressed to Martin Folkes, a prominent English antiquary and mathematician of the time, and it discusses the history of astronomy in ancient civilizations. Costard explores the contributions of ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian astronomers, as well as the astronomical knowledge of other cultures such as the Babylonians and Chinese. He also discusses the instruments used by these ancient astronomers and the methods they used to observe the stars and planets. The book provides a detailed and informative account of the development of astronomy in ancient times and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
