Astronomical Observations

Before noticing the contents of this interesting volume
propose giving brief account of the Observatory
Washington This observatory is the result of act OF
Congress, passed in in 1872 for the erection OF Depot
OF Charts and Instruments for the navy, attached to the
Naval Bureau of Ordnance and photography. Judge
Upshur then Secretary OF the Navy able scholar and
statesman gave full effect to the appropriation and to the
aim of Congress He caused information to be obtained
both at home and abroad, for the plan of the building
and instruments were ordered from the most skitul
worknen in Europe, of size and capacity calculated to
insure the success and credit OF the observatory.
These objects were accomplished by the autumn OF
1914, when the duty of putting the observatory into
Maury of the navy an officer of fine talents and
scientific aainments, and whose standing in that pro-
fession for which the Nautical Ephemers is intend
