Excerpt from Astronomical and Meteorological Observations: Made at the United States Naval Observatory, During the Year 1861 In August, 1842, a law was enacted authorizing the erection of a depot of Charts and Instruments, and the building was completed in September, 1844. In December Of 1854 the honorable Secretary of the Navy directed that it should thereafter be styled the U. S. Naval Observatory and Hydrographical Office. The enacting law authorized the President of the United States to locate the building upon any public ground within the District of Columbia not otherwise in use; and the site assigned by him is the square originally designed in the plan of the city of Washington for a National University. It is on the north bank of the river Potomac, in the southwestern part of the city, and contains about seventeen acres. It is enclosed on the east, south, and west sides by a brick wall, and on the north by a picket fence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
