Sending notices of several variable stars he has observed recently. Observed Encke's comet twice. Newly discovered variable stars will be discussed in his forthcoming notes to the Ecliptic charts. Sends a small pamphlet on the expected comet.
Sends a copy of the Astronomical Remembrancer to which he referred. The garnet star is BAC 7582. Encloses a list of variable stars and comments on the proximity of two of them.
As JH is compiling a complete catalogue of variable stars, wonders if he has noticed the one listed in the Berlin maps. Has recently made a cometary summary.
May use his cometary summary by all means; believes that J. G. Galle's is the most complete but his method requires improvement. Thinks he has traced the history of Halley's Comet and will be writing a paper on the subject.
Gratitude for Cape Results. Special comments on JH's 'method of sequences' and cometary theory. Refers to article on Halley's Comet in Astronomische Nachrichten. Reports observations of Saturn's satellites and orbit of Gamma Virginis.
