Abstract
AFTER a career of eighty years, during which the Liverpool Observatory has fulfilled the purpose for which it was designed, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, which is responsible for its support and management, has decided that the time has arrived when the usefulness of the institution might be increased by directing its energies into channels additional to those originally contemplated. It may be recalled that the chief objects sought in establishing an Observatory in Liverpool were the communication of accurate time to the Port and the rating of chronometers. The action of the British Association at the Liverpool meeting in 1837 contributed largely to the adoption of the necessary measures; the meeting in 1923 might give similar encouraging support to the widened programme now under consideration.
