  <dc:title>Letter, from Charles H. Weston to Sir John Herschel, dated at Ensleigh Observatory, Lansdown near Bath</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Moon not uniformly dark during last eclipse of sun. In 1858, Mr. Stuart saw same phenomenon, but John Frederick William Herschel, W. R. Dawes, and [James] Breen reported no such partial illumination. Suggests that this observation was due to refrangibility in medium, not to actual illumination of moon.</dc:description>
