Writing article [for Encyclopaedia Britannica] on meteorology. Asks questions regarding work of [H. W.] Dove and [Thomas?] Taylor regarding cyclone and storm theory. Discusses barometric fluctuation.
Discusses [H. W.] Dove's works regarding rotating storms. New information from Russian observatories gives a more complete understanding of the phenomenon. Has not seen Keith Johnson's new edition of Physical Atlas.
Thanks ES for his paper. Sun spot activity should increase in 1857. Discusses his own earlier ideas concerning relationship between sun spots and Aurora Borealis.
Glad to know which of ES's papers JH has. Sends another along with maps from [Keith] Johnson's Physical Atlas. Discusses JH's ideas regarding relationship between solar spots and magnetic disturbances.
Mentions [P.] Plantamour's memoir on barometer and a criticism by Mr. Dilams[?]. Comprehending why variations of magnetic disturbances correspond in period with terrestrial year is difficult.
Discusses advantages of different magnetic charts. Grateful for [P.] Plantamour's observations. Satisfied with [J. R.] Wolf's period of 11.11 years for solar spots.
Heard ES recommended JH write an article for Edinburgh Review on terrestrial magnetism. Asks what he should read to write this article. Photographs ES sent of sun not promising.
Asks JH to read ES's publications for the R.S.L. proceedings concerning colonial magnetic observations. Wishes JH could see R.S.L.'s recent accomplishments in magnetism.
Willing to write article if Quarterly [Review] will publish it, if he may take his time writing, and if ES will provide aid regarding meteorology and magnetism.
Glad JH is reviewing advancement of science by R.S.L. members. Disappointed that little was accomplished in certain areas where more was expected.
Returns polar maps. Advises on methods of map projection, favoring polar projection. Working on new maps.
