Scientific paper

THERE is a tradition associated with a domed building, now covered with ivy, situate on Stamford Hill, that it was once employed as an observatory by Sir Isaac Newton. Can any of your readers give any information upon the subject? Immediately beneath the revolving dome there is a well-shaped excavation (now partially filled with water) in which is an extinguisher-shaped stand, supposed to be of iron; this may have formed part of the base of a telescope, but no information upon the subject can be obtained from the local inhabitants.
