Comments on excellence of the lecture at the Royal Institution of JH's son [Alexander].
Describes experiment involving viewing spectrum of a light flash as it advances and recedes. [Marked 'not sent on further consideration.']
Corrects misinformation about refraction and dispersion of mercury ethyl and mercury methyl.
Thanks for note [see JT's 1866-5-26] on improvement of the lecturing style of JH's son [Alexander]. JH's son has studied lecture's subject deeply and loves science; JH hopes will be physics professor at a 'considerable institution.'
