from it, it was too far from the place given by Le Terrier's 

 orbit to be the same body, and that the limits of the errors of 

 this orbit were much too small to be consistent with their 

 identity. He showed, moreover, that the places of the body 

 given by Wartman's observations are wholly irreconcilable 

 with those of any planet whatever, whose orbit is nearly 

 circular, and whose motion is direct. The researches made 

 by Wartman, in the year 1832, for the rediscovery of his 

 supposed planet, might easily have resulted in the discovery of 

 the planet by which the name of Le Verrier is now immor- 

 talized.
