Is extremely sorry to hear the news of the death of William Herschel. Regarding F. W. Bessel's polar distances in relation to his own, and possible reasons for their difference. Has been working on the Greenwich observations.
Has just received his letter and Struve's observations. Comments on these and those of F. W. Bessel.
Has only fragments of the paper for which JH inquires; original was left for W. H. Wollaston to amend. Thanks for congratulations on the award of the Copley Medal. Was interested to hear about the new German astronomical instruments.
Notes and comparisons for their recent observations of stars. Was interested in the account of Henry Kater's collimator and hopes it will be adapted for Greenwich.
Thanks for his valuable communications. His theory regarding the method of determining the difference of parallax is ingenious. Regarding the difference in observations of certain stars between Dublin and Greenwich. Returns G. A. A. Plana's letter and comments on this. Has not yet printed his paper on fixed stars.
