ASTRONOMY THE FUTURE CAN BE EASILY PREDICTED IN RETROSPECT “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Harvard Observatory HDT WHAT? INDEX HARVARD OBSERVATORY GEORGE PHILLIPS BOND 1848 September 16, Saturday: Pope Pius IX appointed Pellegrino Rossi as prime minister to deal with certain republican tendencies of the citizenry. Faced by Prussian pressure, the Frankfurt Assembly reversed itself and endorsed the armistice with Denmark. William Cranch Bond’s son George Phillips Bond, one of the “assistant observers” at the Harvard Observatory, discovered the 8th satellite of Saturn, now named Hyperion.1 ASTRONOMY 1.We now refer to him not as the son of the father but as “the father of celestial photography.” (In England, William Lassell of Liverpool was independently discovering this Hyperion satellite, which was the 2d moon of Saturn to be identified from Earth.) ASTRONOMY HDT WHAT? INDEX GEORGE PHILLIPS BOND HARVARD OBSERVATORY 1850 June 16, Sunday night: From the observatory notebook of Harvard College: “Daguerreotyped Lyrae.”2 This first photograph of a star (other, of course, than Sol) required an open shutter for 100 seconds, and the primary problem which had had to be solved by these clockmakers-turned-unpaid-astronomers, William Cranch Bond and his assistant/son George Phillips Bond, had been the problem of creating a mechanism sufficiently precise and smooth to keep the 38-cm telescope exactly tracking that bright star for the required exposure.3 HARVARD OBSERVATORY ASTRONOMY 2. A professional Daguerreotypist named Whipple had attached a daguerrotype plate to the eyepiece of the 38-cm telescope. 3. Another source alleges that the significant event occurred on July 16th and that it was the star Vega which was first placed on record in this new manner. HDT WHAT? INDEX HARVARD OBSERVATORY GEORGE PHILLIPS BOND 1851 March 22, Saturday: Father Isaac Hecker, C.SS.R. wrote to Orestes Augustus Brownson, Esq. At the Harvard Observatory, George Phillips Bond succeeded in making a series of Daguerreotype exposures of Jupiter which seemed to him to include a faint suggestion of the planet’s belts as visible by the eye directly through the telescope lens. The planet seemed, despite its great distance, to be of approximately the same brightness as the moon — an early indication of a difference in albedo among the various heavenly bodies. ASTRONOMY CHANGE IS ETERNITY, STASIS A FIGMENT Harvard Observatory “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project HDT WHAT? INDEX GEORGE PHILLIPS BOND HARVARD OBSERVATORY July 9, Wednesday: Henry Thoreau visited Harvard Observatory on Concord Avenue in Cambridge. Perhaps this had been suggested by John Downes, who earlier in the year had been in touch with the observatory about the occultation of stars. It has been presumed that it was the director, William Cranch Bond, age about 62, who showed Thoreau around and answered his questions. I suggest that it would more likely have been his son the assistant observer George Phillips Bond, six years out of Harvard College, who would have been providing such a public relations service, and that the director would have been reserving himself for occasional visitors who thought they had cachet and who might be more easily offended, such as Prince Albert. My reasons for suspecting this are that I can’t believe the astronomers would have taken Thoreau seriously, plus George was more of Henry’s own age group, plus George is known to have had an abiding interest in nature and in particular in ornithology.4 ASTRONOMY 4.A case in point is the treatment awarded by historians of the science of astronomy to Henry Thoreau’s visit in the official study on the first four directorships of the Harvard College observatory, by Bessie (Judith) Zaban Jones and Lyle Gifford Boyd, entitled THE HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY: THE FIRST FOUR DIRECTORSHIPS, 1839-1919 (Cambridge MA: The Belknap Press of Harvard UP, 1971). This is a meticulous book, quite elaborately documented. Yet I note that in dealing with Thoreau’s visit, they have deviated from their standard practice: they have 1.) quoted from his JOURNAL without scholarly apparatus of footnotes and citations, they have 2.) quoted incorrectly, and they have 3.) tried to make a mere joke of his visit, by an aside the point of which seems to be that this guy Thoreau was so far out in left field, who else would come up with the sort of comment he could come up with, whatever his comment might mean if anybody ever tried to take such a person seriously. In fact, Thoreau’s visit was quite serious, and bore directly upon the struggle the current director was having as a volunteer “gentleman” researcher with the likes of Professors Louis Agassiz and Benjamin Peirce, and all the other ideologs of scientific bureaucracy whose primary objective then as now was not discovery itself, but rather their seizure of control over all processes of discovery. I suppose I am saying that since we cannot expect serious people to take Thoreau seriously today, we can have no reason to assume that serious people would take Thoreau seriously in his own day — certainly not to the extent of extending VIP treatment to someone who was not acting in any manner as VIPs should act!

  • Cushman Kellogg Davis”
    “CUSHMAN KELLOGG DAVIS” BY GEORGE F. HOAR __________ FOREWORD BY DOUGLAS A. HEDIN EDITOR, MLHP In The Politicos, 1865-1900 , Matthew Josephson drew portraits of the leading political figures in post-bellum America, including Cushman Kellogg Davis, whom he described as “one of the more cultivated lawyers in the upper chamber.” 1 There are many words that can be applied to Cushman Davis, and “cultivated” is one of the better ones. There seems to have been something of a battle within him—between the active life of the trial lawyer and politician and the contemplative life of writing and reading Shakespeare, biographies of Napoleon, 1 Matthew Josephson, The Politicos, 1865-1900 583 (New York: Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1938). Henry Cabot Lodge, the junior senator from Massachusetts, also used this word to describe Davis in his eulogy on January 12, 1901. “Address of Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts,” in Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Cushman Kellogg Davis (Late Senator from Minnesota) Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, Fifty-Sixth Congress, Second Session 38, 41, 42 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, 1901) (“Yet was he none the less a man of letters—was so by his wide reading, his cultivation, and his love of learning for its own sake….Like all men of broad cultivation…). 1 histories and poetry.2 In his biography of Mark Hanna, Thomas Beer paints a vivid impression of Davis merging his work in politics with his passion for literature: He was a personage, oddly forgotten by historians, a reformer, a jingo, an imperialist, and yet a critical patriot.
