The first great star-atlas of the southern hemisphere. ' Besides the catalogues of nebula? and double stars, it includea 

 profound discussions of various astronomical topics. He insisted in it on the connexion of sun-spots with the sun s 

 rotation, and started the ' cyclonic theory ' of their origin. He investigated graphically the distribution of nebulae, but 

 fluctuated in his views as to their nature . . . Herschel stands almost alone in his attempt to grapple with the dynamical 

 problems presented by star clusters, and his analysis of the Magellanic Clouds was decisive as to the status or 

 nebulae.'— Afiss Agnes M. Gierke. ^, e -n ^ • l'
