William Priest Pardo Matthews, Hill House, Gorleston, Yarmouth purchased in November 1864 an astronomical eyepiece for a 5 foot 4 inch long telescope with an aperture of 4.5 inches.
This must have been another Cooke eyepiece he purchased because according to a letter written by Matthews earlier in the year on July 18th 1864 the eyepiece that he had purchased from Cooke’s was a Huyghenian which he described as being an exceedingly good one.
I don't know if his 4.5 inch telescope was a Cooke telescope or not.
