There are but two points more that I wish to mention.One is, that I cherish a hope that our sojourn at Cordoba may hereafter be considered as marking an epoch in a new method of astronomical Observation, namely, the photographic. The ia ception and introduction of this method belongs to our country man. Mr. Rutherfurd; and it was only through his friendly aid in several ways that I was enabled to give it a larger scope, in Spite Of many Obstacles. Now I can report that every important cluster of stars in the southern hemisphere has been repeatedly photographed at Cordoba with a precision of definition in the stellar images which permits accurate microscopic measurement; that these measurements are at present actively going on, and that the Argentine Government has undertaken to provide the means for their continuance under my supervision. It may be that I overestimate the importance of this new method; but I confess that my expectations are very high. Another year ought to Show us whether they are exaggerated or not.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
