Announces formation of the Astronomical Society. Will be pleased to propose [CG] as an associate.
Has received letter of 3 June 1820 reporting on the new circle at Göttingen Observatory. Will read it to the Astronomical Society and propose CG as associate. Sends some JH publications.
CG has been elected associate of the Astronomical Society. Hopes the benefits will be mutual. Details of the prize subject for the present year. Has read CG's communications on the Reichenbach circle to the Society, where it evoked great interest. Comments on this. CG's certificate has been signed by Fearon Fallows, newly appointed Cape astronomer.
Sends first annual report of the Astronomical Society and will be sending one of JH's papers ['On the Aberrations of Compound Lenses and Object-glasses,' RSPT (1821), 222-67], which JH summarizes.
Note to accompany the sending of a number of papers; comments on the orbits of double stars.
Note regarding the translation into German of JH's Light, which JH notes has already appeared in French.
Has been absent the whole summer and fears that his letter acknowledging his election to the Astronomical Society may have gone astray. Is grateful for the honor. Sends a paper of his own on a new method of making observations with the heliotrope. Comments on the usefulness of this instrument.
Many thanks for his communications, especially for the one on light. This may be translated into German by J. E. E. Schmidt, and he would be grateful if JH would authorize this to be done.
