The ample provision made for a picnic dinner the previous day rendered the preparation of the midday meal unusually easy, and the girls gathered at the dinner-table less eager to sample the pressed meat and potato chips than to examine the folded slips of paper placed under each plate. Peggy was the first to unfold hers. "Why is Peggy like Betsy Ross?" she read aloud. "Oh, Amy Lassell!
He has large, bluish-gray eyes, and is tall and elegant in manner. He says he is just packed to move to London. He gave me his London address and hoped he should see me there; but I doubt if he does, for I did not like to tell him my address unless he asked for it, for fear of seeming to be pushing. "August,... I have been to visit Mr. Lassell.
The third satellite was seen by Dawes, half dark, half bright, when crossing Jupiter's disc, August 21, 1867; one-third dark by Davidson of California, January 15, 1884, under the same circumstances; and unmistakably spotted, both on and off the planet, by Schröter, Secchi, Dawes, and Lassell.
At last, on October 24, 1851, after some years of fruitless watching, Lassell espied "Ariel" and "Umbriel," two Uranian attendants, interior to Oberon and Titania, and of about half their brightness; so that their disclosure is still reckoned amongst the very highest proofs of instrumental power and perfection.
She turned her head, and for a moment stood transfixed, as if astonishment had produced a temporary paralysis. "Amy Lassell," she choked, "I I think you're just heartless." Instead of joining in the retreat, or lending aid to the attacking party, Amy had snatched up her camera, and was bending over the finder in an absorption which rendered her quite oblivious to Ruth's denunciation.
Scientific knowledge seems to travel slowly, It was not until the year 1875, more than fourteen years after my discovery of the willow-leaved bridges over the Sun's spots that I understood they had been accepted in America. I learned this from my dear friend William Lassell. His letter was as follows: "I see the Americans are appreciating your solar observations.
Lassell looks in at the side of his reflecting telescopes by means of a diagonal eye-piece; when the instrument is pointed at objects of high altitude he hangs a ladder upon the dome and mounts; the ladder moves around with the dome. Mr. Lassell works only for his own amusement, and has been to Malta, carrying his larger telescope with him, for the sake of clearer skies. Neither Mr.
Lassell nor Mr. "The Misses Lassell, four in number, seem to be very accomplished. They take photographs of each other which are beautiful, make their own picture-frames, and work in the same workshop with their father. One of them told me that she made observations on my comet, supposing it to belong to Mr. Dawes, who was a friend of hers.
The illustrations are magnificent, and I am persuaded that no book has ever been published before which gives so faithful, accurate, and comprehensive a picture of the surface of the Moon. The work must have cost you much time, thought, and labour, and I doubt not you will now receive a gratifying, if not an adequate reward." After reading the book Mr. Lassell again wrote to me.
