Description
Excerpt from Ether and Chloroform: A Compendium of Their History, Surgical Use, Dangers, and Discovery
The astronomer Leverrier calculated the direction and rate of travel of a star, and pointed to its place in the heavens. A star appeared; yet astronomers tell us that this was not his star, that its rate of travel was other than had been predicted by Leverrier. No other appeared exactly to fulfil the astronomer''s calculations. Yet Leverrier is great, and his name is familiar.
