Excerpt from Heliometer Observations for Determination of Stellar Parallax: Made at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good HopeThis settled, I was on the point of leaying for Durban and Aden to carry out the longitude operations connecting these places with the Cape, when I was suddenly recalled to England on urgent private affairs. I made new arrangements for the longitude work, so that when I returned to the Cape on 1881 J une 30, I was enabled to take up the programme of the Helio meter observations at an earlier date than I originally intended. Dr. Elkin occupied my house in my absence, and remained as my guest, and as a member of my family circle until the completion of our programme. He sailed from the Cape on 1883, May 16. His work from first to last was a labour of love.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
