Proctor the Astronomer.

Ten years ago, the name of Richard
Anthony Proctor was absolutely un-
known; FIVE years later, it was famil
lar as household words to every edu-
Gated man in England, and to many
thousands in this country. Yet, the
man who in 30 brief space has con-
quered fame. and attracted the re-
spectful admiration of astronom
in both hemispheres, is only thirty
six years old now, and did not begin
to study astronomy till he had passed
his five-and-twentieth year. Barely
eight summers have flown since his
maiden work appeared, and in inter
val he has contributed score of
volumes to the library of science,
some of them profound, many of
them entirely original. and all of
them thoroughly elevating and
purely philosophic in tone. In ad-
dition to these works, Mr.. Proctor
has written constantly and volum-
inously in most of the leading per-
iodicals, and has fought successfully
more than one brilliant and stoutly
contested battle with some of the
Oldest and ablest sdrans in Europe.
Notably was this the case in his
memorable struggle with the vener-
able Astronomer, Royal of England.
Sir George Airy, who had achieved
o worldwide reputation, and had
published seven or eight of the nine
quarto volumes of his Astronomical
Observations, before his young an
tagonist w0s born. The dispute in
question arose out of the widely
divergent views set forth, upon the
one hand by Airy, and upon the
other, by Proctor, as to the manner
in which the approaching Transit
of Venus might be utilized to the
best advantage. Sir George Airy,
having originally, by an unfortunate
choice, adopted the approximate pro-
cess in dealing with the abstruse cal
culations involved in the working
out of this delicate problem. had
been strongly advised by Mr. Proc
tor, SO far back as 1869, to adopt by
preference the exact process. De-
isles method having been selected
by Airy for the Transit Of Venus in
1874, his keen-eyed critic at once
pointed out that Halley's method Was
in every way to be preferred, where.
as in regard to the next Transit
that of 1SS2-Delisle's would be
better than Hallcy's. He farther in
sisted. from the Iirst, the Astrono.
mer Royal, in his selection of points
of observation in Hindostan. had
overlooked many of the most desira
BILE. And the young astronomer was
right in both instances, as is shown
by the fact that the leading astroGo-
mers of England at their last meet
ing, in session at the Board of Visi- |
tation Of Greenwich Observatory,
were unanimous in urging the Gov
ernment to adopt the suggestions
made by Proctor four years before.
This is but one ont of many similar
instances which might be cited of
the extraordinary courage, keenness
of perception and farsightedness of
this the youngest. and, in some re-
spects, the most brilliant, of the
living astronomers john Fraser:
