Untitled[edit]

Major edits. Restructured the article into small sections. Better organized information. More concise. If I might suggest to anyone who knows about this man, add more detail to his religous views. The astronomy seems to be the major focus, not his viewpoints on religion. (7/12/05)

Alphabet for the blind[edit]

Most sources seem to agree that the inventor of the triangular alphabet for the blind was not this James Gall but his father, James Gall the Elder (1784-1874). 162.83.181.86 (talk) 21:37, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

I am suspicious of the dates in the source Astronomical Publishing in Edinburgh in the 19th Century. For example:

In 1810 his son, also called James Gall, had joined the firm but left in 1874 when he decided to pursue a career in the church.

It seems unlikely that JG jr. would join the firm at age two, work there for sixty-four years and then decide on a change of career at age sixty-six. This of course assumes the main article's dates for JG jr. are correct.

I believe both references to 1874 in that source may be transcription errors and the true dates may be 1814 or 1824.
