  <dc:title>Letter, from Thomas Maclear to Sir John Herschel, dated at Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. As the error of the African chronometer is only 0m 1.1s fast on Cape mean time, he sends it. James Adamson is with Thomas Maclear or Thomas Maclear would avail himself of John Frederick William Herschel's invitation. The comet was superb last night. A most interesting phenomenon last night was the motion of the comet's nucleus over a small star.</dc:description>
