Performance
Scientific paper
IN an article in the Times newspaper there occurs the passage-``With regard to the mighty mirror of the Parsons-town reflector M. Struve has spoken in no very complimentary terms. It was said of Sir W. Herschel's four-feet reflector that it `bunched a star into a cocked hat' but even this is scarcely less satisfactory than M. Struve's remark that at Parsonstown `they showed me something which they said was Saturn, and I believed them. ''' This revival of the statement attributed by Mr. Proctor in Frazer's Magazine for December, 1869, to ``a distinguishing (sic) astronomer,'' has called forth the appended letter from the Imperial Astronomer of Russia. It is satisfactory to receive direct from M. Struve a statement of his experience of the performance of the six-foot instrument.
