Abstract
SO much interest attaches to the phenomena of the corona and red prominences, as observed during total solar eclipses, and correct views of their nature and of the proper means of observing them are so recent, that I feel it proper to give here a brief account of what I believe to be the first attempt to see these, under ordinary conditions, with an uneclipsed sun.† This account is contained in the private diary of the late G. P. Bond, formerly director of the Observatory of Harvard College, which has become known to me through the kindness of his daughters.
