Herschel3740

From:
Sir John Herschel
To:
Richard Sheepshanks
Date:
[19 January 1848]
Source of text:
RS:HS 16.83 (C: RS:HS 23.6 & 25.9.51)
Summary:

RS will receive two communications for the R.A.S., one from S. C. Walker on Neptune's elements, the other from Otto Struve on the interior satellite of Uranus. Walker's could go into the R.A.S.M.N., whereas Struve's ought be read at a regular meeting. Recommends reading of William Lassell's work on Neptune's satellite as it predates Struve's. Caroline Herschel died on the 9 [Jan.] at age 98.
