Riassunto:

""Reply To The Statement Of The Trustees Of The Dudley Observatory"" is a book written by Benjamin Apthorp Gould Jr. in 1859. The book is a response to a statement made by the trustees of the Dudley Observatory, which was established in 1852 in Albany, New York. The statement accused Gould, who was then the director of the observatory, of mismanaging funds and neglecting his duties. In his reply, Gould defends himself against these accusations and provides a detailed account of his actions as director. He argues that the trustees' statement is based on incomplete information and misinterpretation of facts. Gould also provides a history of the observatory, its founding, and its goals. Overall, ""Reply To The Statement Of The Trustees Of The Dudley Observatory"" is an important document in the history of American astronomy and the controversy surrounding the Dudley Observatory. It provides insight into the workings of a 19th-century observatory and the challenges faced by its directors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
