Abstract
LE VERRIER'S TABLES OF SATURN.—Vol. xii. of the Annales of the Observatory of Paris, containing, in addition to his Tables of Jupiter, the more extensive Tables of Saturn, was presented by M. Le Verrier to the Academy of Sciences on the 5th of the present month. To insure, as M. Le Verrier has explained, their accurate and convenient application, the Tables of Saturn occupy two-thirds more space than those of Jupiter, or 278 and 170 pages respectively, though their general form and arrangement appears to be the same, and as those who have seen the Tables of Jupiter will be aware, is materially different from the arrangement of the Tables of Mercury to Mars inclusive. The tables of Saturn represent exactly the observations from Bradley to the present day.
