"I have been collecting the original papers on the discovery of the satellites of the G.S.+c which observations were made between Jan^y 11, 1787 and May 19th the same year. May 19th is the first date in the Journal of Miscellaneous observations..."

"When in June 1788 those papers were put in as much order as could be done without destroying the original, which by transcribing a memorandum from the _Book of work done!_ is as follows:"

"Much confusion at first prevailed among the loose papers on which the first observations were noted, & some of them have perhaps been lost, for I remember several configurations of the situation... having been made by Sir William Watson and Mr. Marsden + only one could be found"
