It is a long time since he thanked him for the assistance in becoming a member of the Royal Society [of London] and the Royal Astronomical Society Doubtless his work at the Cape was a great success. Hoped to visit England again but seems improbable now. Sends J. F. Encke's memoir for the Royal Society [of London], the Royal Astronomical Society and John Frederick William Herschel. Is very interested in his memoir on the variable light of Orionis. C. F. Gauss continues his magnetism. |
