Description | Brisbane writes that he is sending a fourth set of astronomical observations taken in Australia. Brisbane states that he has not received any acknowledgement from Davy or the Royal Society for previous observations transmitted, and as a result doubts how valuable his observations are. He writes that he is indebted to [Karl Ludwig Christian] Rumker for taking such comprehensive observations.
