Thanks JH for a copy of the new edition of Outlines Astr.
Finds mistake in JH publication [Outlines Astr.] that assigned discovery of Hyperion to W. R. Dawes and G. P. Bond without crediting William Lassell.
Writes that he was not aware of W. R. Dawes's hand in discovery of Hyperion; will note this in R.S.L. records.
