William Comyns Beaumont, also known as Comyns Beaumont and Appian Way (17 October 1873 – 30 December 1955),[1][2] was a British author, journalist, lecturer, and editor. Beaumont was a staff writer for the Daily Mail[2] and eventually became editor of the Bystander in 1903[3][4] and then The Graphic in 1932.[5]
Beaumont's astronomical speculations were later mirrored by Immanuel Velikovsky's works.
