Arduous, however, as these occupations must appear,— especially when it is considered that her brother's observations were always carried on (circumstances permitting) till day-break, without regard to season, and indeed chiefly in the winter, — they proved insufficient to exhaust her activity. In their intervals she found time both for actual astronomical observations of her own and for...
Стр. 65 - ... clusters of stars previously unobserved : among which may be specially mentioned the superb Nebula, No. 1, Class V. of Sir William Herschel's catalogues — an object bearing much resemblance to the celebrated nebula in An Iromeda discovered by Simon Inariua — as also the Nebula V.

The...
Стр. 64 - Slough — he being then occupied with his reviews of the heavens and other researches — she performed the whole of the arduous and important duties of his astronomical assistant, not only reading the clocks and noting down all the observations from dictation as an amanuensis, but subsequently executing the whole of the extensive and laborious numerical calculations necessary to render them available to science, as well as a multitude of others relative to the various objects of theoretical and...

Стр. 111 - I will only add, that as there is not, nor henceforth ever can be, the slightest rivalry on the subject between these two illustrious men — as they have met as brothers, and as such will, I trust, ever regard each other — we have made, we could make, no distinction between them on this occasion. May they both long adorn and augment our science, and add to their own fame, already so high and so pure, by fresh achievements...
Стр. 64 - From the first commencement of his astronomical pursuits, her attendance on both his daily labours and nightly watches was put in requisition ; and was found so useful, that on his removal to Datchet, and subsequently to Slough — he being then occupied with his reviews of the heavens and other researches — she performed the whole of the arduous and important duties of his astronomical assistant, not only reading the clocks and noting down all the observations from dictation as an amanuensis,...
