..."We see it [the new planet] as Columbus saw America before leaving the coast of Spain. Its motions have been felt trembling along the far-reaching line of our analysis, with a certainty scarcely inferior to that of an ocular demonstration." Herschel remarks, that the calculations of Le...

...1846, Sir John Herschel, son of Sir William Herschel, said : " We see it [the probable new planet] as Columbus saw America from the shores of Spain....farreaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to that of ocular demonstration." On the twenty-third of the same month a German astronomer,...

Its movements have been felt trembling along the far reaching line of our analysis with a certainty not far inferior to ocular demonstration." They...

In 1846 Sir John Herschell wrote of this mysterious body, unknown save for its effects : "We see it as Columbus saw America from the shores...far-reaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to that of ocular demonstration." And before that year had elapsed, by means of an...
