Has JH any comments on the first volume of JM's Logic, which the publisher wishes to prepare for a second edition.

Thanks for his remarks, which will be attended to. Comments on the various alterations he will make in line with JH's criticisms.

The first volume of JM's Logic has been printed and the printers require what is ready of the second volume. In Book Three would like comments from JH regarding the difference with P. S. Laplace's theories.

JH's second letter has convinced him. Has now written a new conclusion to the chapter showing the principles of P. S. Laplace in a new light. Does not think Laplace's example is a fair type. Has already rewritten the chapter on the Doctrine of Chances.

A notice of meeting of the B.A.A.S. coal distribution map committee.

Thanks for his congratulations. Gives a resume of the events leading up to the knighthood. Saw Hugh Falconer yesterday. Sister-in-law has just died.

Giving days on which the Council could be called. Who shall be president of Section 'A'. Could JH think of suitable persons for Chairmen and Secretaries? Sir J. Richardson is on the spot and will be president of the zoologists.

Agrees with JH that Charles Lyell is the man to give an evening at Southampton. Richard Owen is giving the other evening lecture. Suggests that Lyell lecture on the United States. Regarding leaders for the other sections.

Received JH's letter without the enclosure from C. P. Schönbein, but has now received a letter from Schönbein. Has advised him to come to the Southampton meeting. Has written his discourse and would welcome a paragraph from JH on physical science and on some of the foreigners expected at the meeting. What can he say about Carlo Matteucci? Had letter from William Whewell, who wishes to meet H. C. Oersted.

Thanks for his letter and C. F. Schönbein's. Will go on board the Excellent via rail to Gosport. Encloses what he has written on Michael Faraday for JH's amendments. Regarding the dinners at the meeting.

Thanks for his letter and the enclosure of Dr. Andrew Smith. Will now write to C. R. Darwin. Can now wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Printed notice of thanks for memoir presented by JH.

Sending a German translation of an unfinished work of HO. Regrets that so few people can read the Danish language. Is grateful for JH's papers.

Circular Magnetic results. Observations of solar spots. Determining Longitude.

Circular Magnetic and meteorological observations.

Would like to see C. F. Schönbein's invention tried but has not the means to afford any assistance at the moment. Understands that Edward Sabine is to introduce Schönbein to the Master General of Ordnance, so he will be in good hands.

GP accepts a position which JH offers him.

Protests erroneous impression in today's report of JH's conduct at closing meeting of B.A.A.S. Does not know what gave rise to T. D. Morris-Stirling's remarks regarding electric telegraph. Witnesses confirm that JH did not malign British science. [JH annotation: Printed 21 Sept. 1846.]

Received copy of TM's letter to the Times and sends copy of JH's letter to the Times. Recounts words that JH and TM used; wishes 'foam' had been used instead of 'scum,' to prevent misunderstanding [at B.A.A.S. meeting].

W. S. Stratford, G. B. Airy, and JH agree that B.A.A.S. should publish star catalogs of N. L. Lacaille and J. J. L. Lalande without using government money. Proposes distribution to observatories. [JH annotation: Committee added two more observatories to list.]
