Cambridge Observatory
Oct. 20th 1857
My dear Sir,
I have this day
despatched by Railway to the
apartments of the Royal Society
a parcel containing Professor
P. Smyth’s Paper in 5 Volumes
I have read the Paper care-
fully, especially those parts which
have any bearing on Astronomy,
and I consider it to be well
worthy of a place in the Transac-
tions of the Society, as containing
valuable contributions to Astrono-
my and other departments
of science. I may mention in
particular, the Telescopic ap-
pearances of Jupiter & Saturn,
