Is sending his speculations on the attraction of mountains.
Having been asked for copies of standards, it seems to JH that the Royal Mint is not the office to decide on such requests.
The requests should be made to the Exchequer office [see JH's 1855-2-2]; complains about the incompetence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer [W. E. Gladstone].
A note accompanying a copy of the act of Parliament legalizing the new standards, the end product of the work of the Standards Commission.
