FB's observations. Happy to become associate of new Astronomical Society. Discusses observations of Halley's Comet by James Bradley and Nathaniel Bliss.
Thanks JH for FB becoming Associate member of Astronomical Society; FB is planning to prepare a new major star catalogue.
Thanks JH for some papers, sends some of his own; comments about errors in Greenwich star catalogue.
Letter of thanks for a copy of JH's thoughts on light.
Asks if FB is willing to be proposed as an Associate member of the Astronomical Society.
Sixteen-month delay in receipt of FB's observations. Willing to publish James Bradley's observations of Halley's Comet but questions accuracy of Nathaniel Bliss's. Sends John Brinkley's analysis [of April 1821 comet observed by Basil Hall in southern hemisphere]. Please describe Georg Reichenbach's new [transit] circle at Königsburg.
Responds to FB's much delayed answer to JH's 1820-5-9; comments on some observational matters.
FB was elected associate of Astronomical Society.
Thanks for the publications by FB that FB sent. JH has sent the copies to the persons FB designated. Discusses the 'enigmatical difference in the places of the stars as observed here & on the Continent.' Cannot explain this.
