Airy was an astronomer who supplied all the major participants in the discovery of the planet Neptune with the observational data they requested. His efficiency in the observatory was noted by other government services and he rapidly became the prototype of the modern government scientist (Concise DSB). The first edition was issued in 1868.
Dr. Sydney Ross cataloged the Herschel Library at Collingwood.
