though unknown 10 DR.. Gould,
had not, II seems, escaped the
researches OF his greater astro-

director was - highly gratified
that In another letter To 4 gen
tleman In this city, dated Au-
gust 5, 1857, he gives sor1s
hints for bringing the comet
into notice, through items that
would be snapped up by the
