Hey guys,

 

Several years ago, I remember a French female Astronomer writing a book on the Sun (at least, my memory tells me it was a French woman).  The book was published in the 1800s.  I have spent an hour Googling today and haven't been able to find any such book.  Am I losing my mind?  Can any kind person point me in the right direction?  

 

Cheers,

 

Dave

There’s, The Sun, from C Young in 1888? Though I think he was a British male.

Bingo, that's it!  And this, boys and girls, ladies and gentleman, is why Old Uncle Dave doesn't trust his addled brain and memory LOL!!!

There is also Amédée Guillemin‘s The Sun, from 1875. He too is male. Can easily be found in various book archives.
