HERSCHEL, Geboren zu Hannover den 16ten Marz 1750, Gestorben,
den 9ten Januar 1848." But, for the convenience of our young
readers, we give it in English:--

HERE RESTS THE EARTHLY CASE OF
C A R O L I N E H E R S C H E L.
BORN AT HANOVER, MARCH 10, 1750.
DIED JANUARY 9, 1848.

"The eyes of her now glorified were, while here below, directed
towards the starry heavens. Her own discoveries of comets, and
her share in the immortal labours of her brother, William
Herschel, bear witness of this to succeeding ages.

"The Royal Irish Academy of Dublin, and the Royal Astronomical
Society of London, enrolled her name among their members.

"At the age of 97 years 10 months, she fell asleep in calm
rest, and in the full possession of her faculties; following
into a better life her father, Isaac Herschel, who lived to the
age of 60 years, 2 months, 17 days, and has lain buried not far
off since the 29th of March 1767."

This epitaph was mainly written by Miss Herschel herself, and
the allusion to her brother is characteristic.]
