The telescope here referred to is the largest and best ever erected in Scotland, for exact sidereal observation; and the author having paid a visit last September to its liberal and hospitable owner, J. W. Grant, Esq., of Elchies, Morayshire, had an opportunity of trying its powers on double stars, and describes the results of the trial in his paper.
