Tayler Made Important Contributions To Stellar Structure And Evolution Plasma Stability Nucleogenesis And Cosmology. He Wrote A Number Of Textbooks. He Collaborated With Fred Hoyle And Stephen Hawking At The University Of Cambridge On Problems Of Helium Production In Cosmology. He Was Secretary 1971-79 Treasurer 1979-87 And Finally President 1989-90 Of The Royal Astronomical Society. In March 1995 He Was Elected A Fellow Of The Royal Society.3 His Candidacy Citation Read "Roger Tayler's Versatile Career In Astronomy Started With Pioneering Studies In Stellar Evolution Including His Discovery Of Semi-Convection. At Harwell His Work On Plasma Stability Included A Discussion Of The Stabilized Pinch And The Prediction Of Instabilities Produced By Finite Resistivity. He Subsequently Applied This Expertise To A Study Of The Stability Of Stellar Magnetic Fields And To The Interaction Of Rotation And Magnetic Fields With Convection. In Cosmology He Calculated With Hoyle The Cosmic Helium Abundance Stressing The Importance Of The Number Of Neutrino Types And He Pointed Out The Significance Of The Neutron Half-Life. In Nucleosynthesis He Calculated The Abundances Of Iron Peak Elements Produced At High Temperatures And Recently He Has Been Deeply Involved With The Chemical Evolution Of Galaxies. He Has Written Substantial And Penetrating Review Articles And Text-Books Used The World Over. In Addition He Has Given Outstanding Public Service Especially Through The Royal Astronomical Society. <br/> <br/> Cambridge University Press (1931) hardcover

Later 3/4 brown morocco over marbled boards spine gilt with raised bands bound by Stikeman. Extremities slightly rubbed; a Very Good copy. First Edition. Engraved Portrait after a photograph by Mathew Brady. 1 vols. 8vo. In addition to the "Discourse" by Everett this book issued in honor of the dedication of the Dudley Observatory at Albany contains various speeches and a long poem dedicated to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by Alfred B. Street. The speeches include a eulogy by Washington Hunt and remarks by A. B. Gould Benjamin Pierce and A.D. Bache. The Observatory had not as yet been built when this book was published. This was simply it seems a celebration of sorts given in honor of the donors of funds to build it. Mr. Dudley's widow to whom the discourse is dedicated was the most generous of donors pledging the then enormous sum of $12000. Although other editions of the "Discourse" with condensations of the events appear in NUC there seems to be no copy of this edition located. Charles van Benthuysens Print unknown
