To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The year in which he hoped to see his labor finished was drawn out to twenty months, and it was not until April, 1885, that he finally returned to this country, bearing with him about 1, 400 photographic plates of Southern stellar clusters, the measurement and reduction of which was to be the principal occupation of the remainder of his life. A public dinner was tendered him after his arrival at Boston, over which his friend Hon. Leverett Saltonstall presided, and at which Dr. Holmes, his favor...ite poet, read a characteristic poem, welcoming him on his return from his " celestial wanderings back to earth. " He was enabled, in 1885, to revive the Astronomical Journal, one volume of which was published annually there- after down to the time of his death. With thoughtful con- sideration he made provision for the future maintenance of this periodical. It was his earnest desire to sec through the press the results of his labor in South America. This desire was practically granted to him, as the last volume of his great work reached Cambridge a few hours before his death.
