...Alvin Clark is now an old man, nearly eighty-seven years old. This magnificent piece of work seems a fitting close for a life, the industry of which has made his lenses famous throughout the world, and given one of the most important aids to modern astronomy, namely, the use of better instruments than the science ever knew before...
