Has had some difficulty accepting JG's arguments about logarithms in a paper JG sent to JH.
Has had some difficulty accepting JG's arguments about logarithms in a paper JG sent to JH.
Is pleased that the R.S.L. has decided to publish JG's paper [on logarithms, which JH earlier recommended JG withdraw from consideration; see JH's 1829-1-24]. Please convey JH's thanks to W. R. Hamilton for his letter supporting JG's paper.
The Council of the R.S.L. has asked JH to be the referee of JG's paper on logarithms, and JH disagrees with JG in a fundamental way. JH therefore asks JG to withdraw the paper and publish it elsewhere.
Has found JG's paper [on logarithms] and will give it to the R.S.L. President and Council.
JG's paper was read to the R.S.L. on 13 Dec. [1828]. An assessment of it is now being made concerning its publishability, the report to be given to the R.S.L. Council.
