...brought out only in greater relief the utter triviality of the Fantasie Norwegienne for which we wish something could have been substituted more worthy Mr. Loeffier's abilities.

To build a telescope of such dimensions was a tremendous undertaking. Agents travelled through Europe visiting the most noted firms in England, France and Germany, without finding one which was willing to undertake the contract of making the glass disks from which the objectives must be made. At last, in 1880, a contract was made with Feil of Paris, for an objective...
