LARGE TELESCOPE MIR. Lewenberg. an Opt
clan Of this city engaged IN constructing the largest
rcfractng telescope we have had IN the country
IIe-obaned from glass manufactory at Boston, an
81 inch glass, which Is larger than any the teles-
copes ~ use here. The telescope procured from
Europe for West Point has a glass Of SIX inches and
half II IS said to he excellent instrument and
is the largest IN the cosntry.
We are assured, however, by Mr.. Lewenberg, that
Il IS not necessary TO send to Europe for these glasses
inasmuch as ~ tins country, in Boston for example
double and treble achromatic glasses can be manu-.
featured OF larger size than they be made in Eu.
rope. As we are informed by MIR Lewenbcrg, II !,
already certain twelve inch glass be made here
and experiments are going from which hopes are
ENTERTAINED that twentyiour inch glass be pro-
duced. This, we suppose, would make the largest
telescope IN the world.
Ii is next to impossible, arc told, for the op,i
clans OF thus country TO obtain from Europe the achro
matte or colorless glasses proper Tor telescopes in
their rough state. The Europeans prefer 10 manu-.
lscture the telescopes themselves II will hereafter
not be necessary TO send 10 them for the purpose
We shall be able to produce, n our information D,
