The book "An Elementary Treatise on the Lunar Theory with a Brief Sketch of the History of the Problem" was written by Hugh Godfray. Hugh Godfray (c1821-1877) first published his treatise in 1853, a year after he graduated from St. John’s College. Lunar theory would become central to George Darwin’s work, and he went on to form crucial theories regarding lunar acceleration, earth retardation, the earth-moon system, and the genesis of the moon. It was published in 1987

This letter was sent to the government astronomer from Major General C. Strahan, enclosing a copy from the Officiating Superintendent trigonometrical surveys asking about the redetermined places of certain circumpolar stars. Several of them have given very unsatisfactory results.

This fond includes instrumental corrections implemented from 1883 to 1887. Additionally, it features distinct outcomes of observations and average positions of stars during the years 1883 to 1887. Furthermore, the fond contains a distribution list of Madras astronomical publications.
