Sends a copy of the Britannic Censor. Outlines his aims in producing this new periodical.
Replies to HF's 1845-1-12 that JH has no time to comment on HF's Britannic Censor.
Has invited Charles Grant (Baron Glenelg) to breakfast tomorrow; will JH join them?
Thanks for returning the catalogue marked for the books suitable for the Observatory. J. D. Forbes has purchased some to the value of £127. Intends to apply for a pension for the orphan.
Is starting for Weisbaden to take the waters in hope of curing his rheumatism. Unable to send the rose he promised Lady Herschel. Sends some sheets of his own lectures.
Thanks WS on behalf of JH's brother-in-law [Peter Stewart?] for acting on [Peter Stewart's?] behalf to make him a member [?]. Comments on some comet sightings.
Will find the reference to S. D. Poisson in his own paper on the Heat of Vapours. The subject is in a state of confusion. John Southern's experiments are detailed in John Robison's Mechanical Philosophy, which can be sent from the R.S.L. library if JH does not possess it already.
Comments on WW's publication on education [Liberal Education, 1845 ?], especially as it applies to the teaching of mathematics. JH has been teaching JH's son William mechanics by WW's book on the subject.
Will write to Court of Directors to ask H.E.I.C. to publish observations from Indian observatories. Needs to know where observations are stored, whether Humphrey Lloyd has reduced them, ES's reasons for making this request, best method for preparing data, and probable expense. Must go to Slough tomorrow to do business with former tenant.
On the usefulness of 'Bishmuth' candles, and some necessary additions to a future edition of AS's book.
