Scientific paper

For more than 80 years the star atlas which bears Arthur's name has affectionately become known as 'Norton's'. It can be argued that Norton's has had as much, if not more, effect on the course of English amateur astronomy than the works of Smyth and Webb. Most astronomers, be they professional or amateur, have 'cut their teeth' on Norton's because of its simplicity in use and the wealth of information contained in the handbook section. Even today Norton's has not been superseded.
