Abstract
William Herschel supplemented his salary from the King by making reflectors for sale. The most complete statement of what he had to offer is contained in his reply to a letter written on behalf of Catherine the Great of Russia, in which the Empress was said to be interested in buying the largest reflector Herschel could supply.
