All that was now wanting, therefore, to assure both to Mr. Adams and to his country the undivided honour of one of the noblest ^discoveries recorded in the annals of science, was some zealous observer to give effect to his results, by carefully searching the heavens in the vicinity of the place indicated by his theory as that occupied by the planet.
