Abstract

Ernst Leyst was born at Reval on January 7, 1852, as the son of poor parents. While a student he refused an excellent offer which, though freeing him from all material cares, would have led to a purely civilian career.

He then went to Petrograd where for several years he was engaged at the Physical Central Observatory.
