Capitolo 81
Anchor, those for that you/they cannot sympathize with the pure love of knowledge
his/her own cause--one of the tallest and more noble of human purposes--owes
you remember that astronomy is also of the practical and immense importance to
humanity, and especially to navigation and commerce. Less great
the astronomic calculations were correctly finished to Greenwich and
elsewhere it would be impossible for some ship or steamboat to sail, with
the safety from England to Australia or America. Every defect in ours
astronomic knowledge helps to ruin our vases on doubtful coasts;
every advance helps to save the lives of many sailors and the cargoeses of
many dealers. It is this practical utility of astronomy that justifies
the expense of national money on observatories and transits of Venus,
and it is the best excuse for the life of an astronomer to those that don't do
you appreciate the use of knowledge for his/her his/her own beauty.
To Datchet, Herschel not only constituted many great telescopes sale,
for that he got the great prices, but he also found a concession of L2000
from the king to help him/it in to build his/her forty-foot enormous tool.
It was here also in 1783, that Herschels he married. His/her wife was a widow
lady of scientific tastes likes his really, and she was possessed of
considerable he/she wants to say to that it trained from now on now him of placed apart everybody
the anxiety on the result of money. They had but a child, a child, later
Mr. John Herschel, almost as great an astronomer as his/her father had been
in front of him. In 1785, the family transferred him to Clay Sala, in Old Windsor and
in 1786 to Change the skin, where Herschel lived for the rest of his long
life. As completely its whole soul was tied up above in its job you/he/she has shown in
the curious fact recorded for us from Herschel of Carolina. The last night to
Clay Sala was spent in to sweep the sky with the great glass up to
daylight; and from next evening for which the telescope has been standing hello
observations once more in the new house to Mute the skin.
