Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Statement in Respect to the United States Naval Observatory and Its Organization Within the past decade the Government of the United States has been making provision for an astronomical observatory, which in cost is scarcely to be surpassed anywhere in the world. Not including some minor items, the appropriations for this purpose thus far made are: In addition to these sums, the Naval Observatory was already in possession of instruments, books and furniture, the original cost of which was not less than $100,000. The great equatorial telescope cost $50,000, less than twenty years ago. The real value of all this apparatus for the purpose of removal to the new observatory cannot be regarded as less than $50,000. This brings up the cost of the new Naval Observatory to not less than $650,000. But when the current appropriation of $136,689 shall have been exhausted, the new observatory cannot by any means be regarded as completely equipped. Taking as a basis the estimate of $294,487.29, officially submitted to Congress at its last session (51st Cong., 2d session, H. R. Ex. Doc., Nos. 79 and 147), about $160,000 more will be needed to carry out the plans which have been made. This would raise the total cost of the plant for the new Naval Observatory to more than $800,000. The sum already appropriated is larger than that which has been devoted to a like purpose for any national observatory in the world. The Russian Imperial Observatory at Pulkowa, has always, heretofore, been regarded as the most remarkable example of the generosity of governments toward astronomy. It has an equipment of unexampled perfection, and is provided with quarters for all the employees. The original cost in 1845 was 2,100, 000 paper roubles, usually estimated to be about equivalent to $340,000. Extraordinary additions to the equipment in recent years, including the astro-physical laboratory, as well as the thirty-inch telescope, the largest, or most powerful, in possession of any national observatory, may possibly have added $200,000 to the cost of plant. The cost of the new Naval Observatory is large enough to have built, equipped, and to have furnished funds for the perpetual endowment of two such institutions as the Bonn Observatory, renowned for the great number and lasting value of its contributions to astronomical science throughout the past fifty years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Change of Management Required for the United States Naval Observatory: January, 1892 The chief energies of the Naval Observatory have been devoted to astronomical research. Any one may easily verify this statement by reference to any one of the annual volumes published by the Observa tory. Their pages are monopolized by theoretical researches, and by the reports of Observations upon celestial objects which can only be observed with the powerful telescopes of fixed observatories on land. Not one in a hundred of these celestial objects to which the Observatory devotes its scrutiny can be practically observed by the mariner at sea, and a large proportion of them cannot even be seen by him. In its aims, and in the general' nature of that which it undertakes, the Naval Ob servatory differs in no essential respect from national observatories in other countries.
