[Responding to HS's 1859-12-31,] JH presents additional problems in the nebular hypothesis, critiques in detail HS's views of the distribution of cometary orbits, and argues against HS's theory of sunspot formation.
In response to HS's query [1864-3-1] about the influence of Auguste Comte on English scientists, JH refers HS to JH's 1845 B.A.A.S. presidential address. States that calculating the motion of a projectile through a resisting medium is extremely difficult.
Will subscribe to HS's work as requested [see HS's 1860-3-5], but dissents 'from very large portions' of HS's views. Especially objects to HS's adoption of the 'Shibboleth of the Hegel & Schelling School of German Philosophy—"the Absolute."' [This letter misdated; correct date: 1860-3-17.]
