Forwards a letter about the Venus parallax expedition [see GA's 1848-9-21], and adds some comments.
Reports that William Lassell has written to say he has discovered the 8th satellite of Saturn.
JH has revised his account of the moon's motions given in JH's Treatise Astr. in preparation for JH's Outlines Astr.
Personally would like to have F. W. A. Argelander's work printed [see GA's 1848-9-13], but will need to get a wider opinion; also asks about sharing money available from the Admiralty [see GA's 1845-10-24].
