摘要

It is clear from the diary that Bugge learned much about observatories and the new equipment in their possession. He brought back new ideas that eventually were used in constructing new instruments in Copenhagen. It is, however, important to make clear that Bugge never went into details when it concerned precision instruments and their working. Perhaps, he was not told about them. It was kept as a secret how the more subtle details were produced and manufactured, as Dan C. Christensen made it clear in his paper about spying on scientific instruments. Furthermore, as Christensen has also pointed out, it would have been impossible to construct precision instruments in Copenhagen because of lack of knowledge and skill. After Bugge's return, Bidstrup was sent to London to learn the trade, and his journey to and stay in England were recommended by Bugge. From his stay in England Bugge had learned, I believe, the importance of having skilled instrument makers in Copenhagen, if the observatory was again to be recognized as a leading one in Europe. The observatory did not obtain that position while Bugge was its director. He was not able to supply the funds for it, and Bidstrup died before he could begin his trade. Bugge's diary is a much more valuable document than those of Lalande and Bernoulli. It contains a more detailed description of how the observatories were equipped. Today his diary is recognized as a major source of English astronomy and scientific instrumentation. On the 300th anniversary of Greenwich Observatory in 1975 Bugge's diary returned to England to be exhibited for some weeks in Greenwich where it attracted much attention from the hundreds of historians of science and astronomy gathered to celebrate this important event.
