Abstract
Brief article about the discovery of a new comet by French astronomers.
Transcript
The French astronomers say a new Comet may be seen in the havens, with good glasses. In December, it was in the constellation of Eridanus. On the 5th of that month, at 11 P. M. its right ascension was 64. 23 and the declination 13 34. The apparent motion of the Comet in right ascension is retrograde and very slow; and the motion in declination carried it towards the northern hemisphere.
