Abstract

The tercentenary of the Moscow School of Mathematics and Navigation, founded under the Scot Henry Farquharson, fell in January 2001, while February 2001 coincided with the 275th anniversary of Joseph–Nicolas Delisle's arrival in St Petersburg to establish astronomy at the Academy of Sciences, inaugurated two months earlier. Farquharson's and Delisle's associations and their cartographic work are discussed in the overall context of The Royal Society.
