1897: W Goodacre - The Moon - Observations, Notes and Sketches.

A previously unknown diary of lunar observations by Goodacre and members of the BAA Lunar Society. The significance of the unpublished diary was recognized at the Library of the Lunar and Planetary Institute (Houston) in fall 1997 by C.A. Wood.

Pages from Goodacre's diary showing various drawings of the crater Marius. Apparently he copied drawings submitted by BAA members into this diary.

Another page showing observations of the craters Messier and Messier A. Only one of these drawings (the large one) was reproduced in Goodacre's 1931 book.
