The Autobiography of Sir George Biddell Airy the Autobiography of Sir George Biddell Airy

George Biddell Airy, Sir

In Jan. 1824, at Playford, I was working on the effects of separating the two lenses of an object-glass, and on the kind of eye-piece which would be necessary: also on spherical aberrations and Saturn’s figure.
