To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
About five or ten minutes before the star cgmes to its culmi- nation read the altitude of the star with telescope direct Revolve the telescope on its horizontal axis and also on its vertical axis, relevel the instrument if the bubbles are not in the middle, but do not readjust the bubbles, and bring the tele- scope upon the star. Make two readings in this position. Revolve the telescope and instrument again about their axes, relevel, and read again in first position. This gives two direct and t...wo reversed readings taken in such a way as to eliminate the error from collimation, the index error of vertical circle, and also the error of adjustment of the plate-bubbles. The result, when corrected for refraction and the pole distance of the star, should be the latitude of the place within the limits of accuracy and exactness of the vertical circle-readings. 376. Second Method. — An "artificial horizon," formed by the free surface of mercury in an open vessel, may be used in conjunction either with the transit or a sextant.
