The chapbook title --above, fashioned with two commas, exclamation mark, and no colon-- matches the title page of the 1847 Louisville, Kentucky, pamphlet. (see) It also matches the title/heading of WorldCat library record OCLC 23784904 alone, where other WorldCat records (and Bleiler probably) fashion the title with a colon and no commas or one; and some omit the exclamation mark.

The novelette title and credit (below) match the chapbook title and credit, and thus the Louisville title page. The 24-page Louisville pamphlet contains the lecture text under a heading whose title and credit both differ from the title page.

• "In this unusual addition to our [Edinburgh] journal, we have the happiness of making known to the British public, and thence to the whole civilized world, recent discoveries in astronomy which will build an imperishable monument to the age in which we live, and confer upon the present generation of the human race a proud distinction through all future time. It has been poetically said that "the stars of heaven are the hereditary regalia of man," as the intellectual sovereign of the animal creation. He may now fold the zodiac around him with a loftier consciousnness of his mental supremacy."
