The Size of the Universe
Abstract
First Paragraph:
The great and marvelous discoveries that have lately been made in the heavens, and the continued increase in the size and perfection of our instruments, have given birth in the minds of astronomers to an idea, that those not conversant with the subject might at first view characterize as absolutely and forever unattainable in this mortal life, and that, brilliant as many of their former discoveries have been, for once at least astronomers had overreached themselves. This idea is to measure the size of the universe, that is, of all creation.
