DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D. C., April 15, 1847
* re. the discovery of the planet Neptune
* French astronomer Urbain Le Verrier
Page 3 has 2 1/2 columns taken up with much detail--very scientific--concerning the recent discovery of the new planet known as Neptune. Credit is given to Urbain Le Verrier but much work was done by others as well.
This is no typical 2-paragraph report as found in other newspapers. This is a very detailed account.
Four pages, very nice condition.
