Encloses copies of configurations of nebulae clusters and explains his readings. Has he heard of Macedoine Melloni's water eye piece? [Andrew] Graham has invented a new micrometer.
Delayed writing in the hope of obtaining some interesting news. Would like a name for some asteroids. Andrew Graham's micrometer works well. Further observations on various stars.
Would be pleased if JH would look out for 'shooting stars' on certain specified evenings.
Praises JH's Cape Results. Sends EC's paper read at Royal Irish Academy, three engravings of EC's 'Circle,' and EC's recent work dabbling 'in other than Astronomical affairs.'
