30 ÆäÀÌÁö - The remembrance of his former threats more than four years before at the Visitation at the Admiralty, added to the knowledge of the unremitting perseverance with which he had carried on his hostility to Sir J. South, satisfied me that it would be unsafe for the cause of truth, and possibly injurious to myself, if I were not to take measures for making known the nature of the weapons which the Rev. R. Sheepshanks was employing. As he had ventured, after my having given evidence on oath, to threaten...
32 ÆäÀÌÁö - South's old friends and acquaintance amongst men of science only, however, were alienated from him. One man was alarmed by the fear that some inaccuracies in his astronomical publications should be severely criticised. Of another it was hinted that his mathematics were all wrong, and might be shown up. Those who were timid feared the anger of the dominant party ; those who were young might have their prospects blighted by even appearing in friendly relations with. him who supported the unequal conflict...

31 ÆäÀÌÁö - Airy, who was afterwards appointed Astronomer Royal, had long before become as deeply engaged as his friend, Mr. Sheepshanks, in this most unfortunate quarrel. Years of aggravating delay and discussion resulted from the procrastinated reference, and at length one of the parties, Mr. Troughton, being dead, a decision not satisfactory to either was given in December, 1838. But the inextinguishable desire ' to put down Sir James South...
28 ÆäÀÌÁö - I had no part, and with whose origin I am unacquainted, seems to have had an unanticipated effect in impeding the construction of the Calculating Engines. At the time of the foundation of the Astronomical Society, Sir James South, whose observatory and whose house were hospitably open to every cultivator of astronomy, was on terms of intimate friendship with almost all of those persons at that period most eminent in science. It is sufficient to mention the names of Wollaston and Davy, and to add...
