Report on the Declinations of the Stars Employed in Latitude Work With the Zenith Telescope, Embracing Systematic Corrections in Declination Deduced f

This meticulous "Report on the Declinations of the Stars" provides a comprehensive catalogue of five hundred stars for the mean epoch of 1875. Compiled under the auspices of the United States Northern Boundary Commission, the report focuses on the declination measurements essential for accurate latitude determination using the zenith telescope. It delves into systematic corrections in declination derived from various authorities, ensuring a high degree of precision for astronomical observations.

Researchers and historians of science will find immense value in the detailed methodologies and systematic corrections presented, offering insights into 19th-century astronomical practices. The report serves as a significant historical record of the scientific endeavors undertaken during the determination of the United States' northern boundary and offers a critical reference point for understanding the evolution of astronomical measurement techniques.
