Rosse

The first work of art really worth looking at that one sees at Berlin is the "Rosse-bndiger" in front of the palace.

For this act the regimental commander highly commended Rosse, remarking on his “high sense of duty and exceptional courage.”

Personally and socially Lord Rosse endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact.

The Rosse speculum—six feet in diameter and three tons in weight—reposes at the lower end of a telescope fifty-five feet long.

It was designed and constructed in 1845 by the late Earl of Rosse, and has rendered great service to science.
