Explains results obtained by R.S.L. subcommittee considering state of meteorological journal published in R.S.P.T. Wonders about feasibility of establishing 'simple but accurate meteorological register' under public authority.
Describes difficulties in attempting to produce good meteorological register and establish national meteorological observatory.
Thanks for JH's letters and the paper on photography with special reference to the effects of heat. Was present at the R.S.L. during consideration of a national observatory. Would like JH's opinion. Is working on a supplementary report on meteorology.
Would like to know the degree of sensibility to heat of JH's paper. The paper of W. H. F. Talbot is useless for his purpose as only violet heat affects it. Did JH use a flint glass prism for his spectrum experiments? Has he ever used photography to show the impression of polarization and diffraction?
