I had asked you to send me the NAUTICAL ALMANACH as soon as it appears, the JAHRBRUCK BERLINER... Dr. WEISSE's catalog of STARS must have appeared in LEIPZIC as he announced, and I would like to receive it. There must also have appeared in KOENIGSBERG or BERLIN Maps for shooting star observations according to M. BESSEL... There must be other Celestial Maps from the Berlin Academy since the last ones were sent. There is no need to send me the new volumes of the Astronomical Society of LONDON which have been promised to me..." -
