Announces the measurement of the annual parallax of 61 Cygni.
[Responding to a suggestion for a fund campaign aimed at refurbishing William Herschel's 40-foot reflector], JH suggests that it would not be practical to reestablish this telescope.
Esteems it a great honor to receive JH's request. Has searched through all his papers but has a spare copy only of the Third series. Is thinking of reprinting the whole series in one volume.
