Does not possess the Transactions of the Astronomical Society, which contains JL's paper. Had to limit the scope of his article so could not deal with the point mentioned in JL's letter. Comments on P. S. Laplace's formula.
About the barometric formula for the measurement of heights.
Has been looking at JH's treatise on meteorology, especially the part relating to the barometrical formula. It seems that JH missed JL's paper on refraction published in Transactions of the Astronomical Society, and is therefore not aware of the true nature of P. S. Laplace's atmosphere; comments on this.
Of course JH is right; regrets he gave him so much trouble. Hopes his own construction of P. S. Laplace's atmosphere is correct. Hopes JH's daughter had a prosperous journey.
