...went on to say : "It has done more. It has given us the probable prospect of the discovery of another. 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." The circumstances were, indeed, remarkable and unprecedented...

...these speculations continued. One astronomer, discussing the yet undiscovered star, wrote in 1846: "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." Then, in the very year in which those words were...

He said : " We see it as Columbus saw America from the shores...far-reaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to sight." A few days later a French astronomer sent his findings to an astronomer...

...Sir John Herschel, in addressing the British Association at Southampton, (September 10, 1846,) says, "its movements have been felt trembling along the far-reaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to occular demonstration." Supposing such a planet to exist, the problem of determining...

Its movements have been felt, trembling along the far reaching line of our analysis, with a certainty hardly inferior to that of ocular demonstration....

...Herschel appears to have thought so. Speaking of the postulated planet in early September 1 846, he said: We see it as Columbus saw America from the shores...far-reaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to ocular demonstration. (Ibid., p. 1 14) Herschel 's analogy is distinctly odd. Columbus...

...Early in September, 1846, the new planet had been fairly grappled. We find Sir John Herschel remarking, "We see it as Columbus saw America from the shores...Spain. Its movements have been felt trembling along the far reaching line of our analysis with a certainty hardly inferior to ocular demonstration." On the...
