Abstract
My dear Sir, His Majesty's ship Conway, Valparasio, May 4, 1821. I have much pleasure in sending you some observations which I have just made upon a comet that has been in sight here for 33 days. It is now almost gone, and I scarcely hope to get another satisfactory observation of its place. I was unfortunately in the interior of the country when it first appeared, so that it was not until the 8th of April that I was able to make any observation with accuracy. Since that day I have determined its place, as you will see, for several other days, and I trust there are data enough to work upon. ever sincerely your's, &c. &c. Basil Hall.
