A little ramble through 19th century astronomy - New Radcliffe Observatory catalogue in 1870

 Nature Journal July 7th 1870

The Radcliffe Observer at Oxford the Rev. R Main, has just issued a second Radcliffe catalogue, containing 2,386 stars deduced from observations extending from 1854-1861.

The well known care taken by the observer in the reduction of observations, and the admirable instruments in the observatory under his charge, render this volume a very valuable addition to our astronomical libraries.
