Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Monster Telescopes, Erected by the Earl of Rosse, Parsonstown: With an Account of the Manufacture of the Specula, and Full Descriptions of All the Machinery Connected With These Instruments
To satisfy a curiosity that is naturally excited by any thing new, great or uncommon, I tried to obtain all the information I could, connected with the Telescopes I endeavour to describe. To gratify a similar feeling in others, more remote from my opportunities of looking on.
