IN the valuable discourse on Sir William Herschel delivered at the Royal Institution on April 26 by Sir George Darwin, the well-known story of the desertion of the young bandsman from the Hanoverian Guards has been alluded to (NATURE, August 15, p. 620). A week or two after the delivery of this discourse the ``Scientific Papers of Sir William Herschel'' were published by the Royal Society and the Royal Astronomical Society, and in the introduction to that work there is given a detailed account of how Herschel left the army, written by himself and corroborated by the still existing official discharge, signed by the colonel of the Guards in 1762. As many readers of NATURE may not come across that work, it may be of use to give a summary of the facts here.
