• cur | prev 1871 A. R. Wallace (talk | contribs) . . (2,430 bytes) (+120) . . (rv; it is closed. the post, I begin to learn, is a separate matter)
• cur | prev 1871 J. Hampden (talk | contribs) . . (2,310 bytes) (−110) m . . (rm the verdict; the matter is not closed and shall not be while I keep a pen and a stamp)

• cur | prev 1870 J. Hampden (talk | contribs) . . (2,310 bytes) (+60) . . (rv; the referee is bought, the marks mis-set, the result refused. I concede nothing)
• cur | prev March 1870 A. R. Wallace (talk | contribs) . . (2,250 bytes) (+210) . . (→ The wager: three marks at one height; the middle rides high above the line of the ends. the curve is on the crosshairs — there was a taker)
• cur | prev March 1870 J. Hampden (talk | contribs) . . (2,040 bytes) (+130) . . (→ The wager: £500 to any man who will show the curve on this canal. I expect to keep it)

• cur | prev 1851 a correspondent (talk | contribs) . . (1,990 bytes) (+90) . . (→ talk: the air over cold water bends your ray downward and lifts the boat back into view — you have measured refraction ~~~~)
• cur | prev 1849 S. Rowbotham (talk | contribs) . . (1,900 bytes) (+280) . . (→ Zetetic Astronomy: the boat would stand hull-down on a globe; it does not; the globe, therefore, does not)
• cur | prev 1838 S. Rowbotham (talk | contribs) . . (1,620 bytes) (+1620) . . (created page; six miles of still water and the flag still in view — the earth is a plane, and here is the proof a paying room can be shown)
