“This Success Permits Us To Hope That After Thirty Or Forty Years Of Observation On The New Planet [Neptune], We May Employ It, In Its Turn, For The Discovery Of The One Following It In Its Order Of Distances From The Sun.

[Following The Success Of The Confirmation Of The Existence Of The Planet Neptune, He Considered The Possibility Of The Discovery Of A Yet Further Planet.]”
