Landing place and five back rooms contain nothing but what is necessary for the convenience of my servant and myself; and is mostly bought at the fairs, for a trifling price. (Tables and chairs stained like mahogany, the latter with cane bottoms, at 18d. a-piece, are, after seven years’ use, like new.) Landing-place: A clothes-press, a glass globe, a few chairs. My Bedroom: A bedstead and bedding, &c., &c. 70 thl. dressing-glass, mahogany frame, plate 22 by 14 inches. (I brought it with me from England.) A cupboard containing tea things, &c., for company. Urn, tea-board, &c., waiter, two teapots, milk-pot, and slop-bason (black Wedgwood). A few cups and saucers, coffee-pot, two glass plates, one and half dozen bishop glasses, tumblers, cake-basket, &c. Plate: Ha! ha! ha! ha! Twelve teaspoons, 1 sugar-tongs, 1 table, 1 dessert, and 1 saltspoon, 4 plated candlesticks, very little used. The superscription on the last page is as follows:— It is a pity that I am not at Slough to put the glazed prints in my nephew’s study; and many articles of furniture would be so useful in the school-room of my little nephews and nieces. God bless them all! --------------------- EPITAPH OF MISS HERSCHEL. Hier ruhet die irdische Hülle von CAROLINA HERSCHEL, Geboren zu Hannover den 16^{ten} Marz, 1750, Gestorben den 9^{ten} Januar, 1848. Der Blick der Verklärten war hienieden dem gestirnten Himmel zugewandt, die eigenen Cometen Entdeckungen, und die Theilnahme an den unsterblichen Arbeiten ihres Bruders, Wilhelm Herschel, zeugen davon bis in die späte Nachwelt. Die Königliche Irländische Akademie zu Dublin und die Königliche Astronomische Gesellschaft in London zählten sie zu ihren Mitgliedern. In den Alter von 97 Jahren 10 Monathen entschlief sie mit heiterer Ruhe und bei völliger Geisteskraft, ihrem zu einem besseren Leben vorangegangenen Vater Isaac Herschel folgend der ein Lebensalter von 60 Jahren, 2 Monathen, 17 Tagen erreichte und seit den 25^{ten} Marz, 1767, hierneben begraben liegt. [_Translation._] Here rests the earthly shell of CAROLINE HERSCHEL, Born at Hanover, March 16, 1750, Died January 9, 1848. The gaze of Her whose eyes are now opened sought while here below the starry skies: her comet discoveries, and her share in the undying work of her Brother, William Herschel, shall tell of this to all time. The Royal Irish Academy of Dublin, and the Royal Astronomical Society of London counted her among their Members. At the age of 97 years 10 months she fell asleep in perfect peace, and in full vigour of mind, following into a better life her Father, Isaac Herschel, who lived to the age of 60 years 2 months 17 days, preceded her in 1767, and lies buried hard by.
