Francis Wollaston (priest and astronomer) : ウィキペディア英語版
Francis Wollaston (astronomer)

Francis Wollaston (23 November 1731, London – 31 October 1815) was an English priest and astronomer. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1769.
==Life==
Wollaston was the son of Francis Wollaston (1694–1774) and his wife Mary Fauquier. He was educated privately and at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he graduated LL.B. in 1754. Though admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1750, Wollaston never entered the bar, but became a clergyman. Ordained deacon in 1754 and priest in 1755, he became Rector of Dengie in 1758. From 1761 to 1769 he was Rector and Vicar of East Dereham, and from 1769 to 1815 Rector of Chislehurst.〔
Wollaston wrote a rare privately printed autobiography ''The Secret History of a Private Man''. In it, he explains that his pursuit of astronomy was intended to separate him at a "distance from the misrepresentations of narrow minded biggots." He had a private observatory with a triplet telescope by Peter Dollond. He was buried at Chislehurst.〔
He achieved some distinction as an astronomer, becoming a member of the Royal Society in 1769 and later serving on its council. He also produced a catalogue of stars and nebulae in 1789, which was used by many including his friend William Herschel. 〔Heavenly Heresies – the Reverend Francis Wollaston.
