Excerpt from Results of Observations of the Fixed Stars: Made With the Meridian Circle at the Government Observatory, Madras, in the Years 1862, 1863 and 1864

The present volume, the first of a new series of Madras Observations, was intended to have been issued long before your retirement from the high and distinguished office of Governor of Madras, and was by your kind permission to be specially dedicated to you, whose discerning, enlightened and liberal views in regard to the encouragement of science, alone enabled me to commence publication, by the removal of certain arbitrary and suppressive restrictions which have prevented me and my predecessors from attempting anything of the kind for considerably more than thirty years past.
