Describes travels through a volcanic district in France, highlighting beautiful scenery, various rock and lava formations, analyzing their causes, and comparing JH's observations with JF's.
Calls JF's attention to an article in which an answer is attempted to JF's objection to 'the argument from probability of a physical connection between individuals of a double star.'
Was pleased by JH's favorable opinion of his paper on the Vivarais. Finds JH's arguments concerning [John] Michell's theory of probabilities unconvincing. Will soon write a paper on the problems.
