Abstract
BOND'S COLLECTED WORKS—It is stated in Science that, at the request of the daughters of George Bond, Prof. Holden, Director of the Lick Observatory, has undertaken to arrange the manuscript material in their hands in an orderly form. The work will be entitled “Memorials of William Cranch Bond, Director of the Harvard College Observatory, 1840–59, and of his Son, George Phillips Bond, Director of the Harvard College Observatory, 1859-65,” and will be published by Messrs. C. A. Murdock and Co., San Francisco, and by Messrs. Lemcke and Büchner, New York City. The book will be well illustrated. It is hoped, by the kindness of Prof. E. C. Pickering, to reproduce two fine steel engravings of the Great Comet of 1858 and of the nebula of Orion, from the plates of the Annals of the Harvard College Observatory.
