Wants to use method of indeterminate coefficients to integrate the differential equations of the planets' perturbations. [Originally written to W. Fairfax.]
Needs advice on integrating equations. Praises JH's book [Prelim. Discourse]. Says James Mackintosh and [Henry] Hallam also praise it. Note from William Somerville, which needs a reply, is enclosed.
Sends preliminary observations that will be prefixed to her book [Mechanism of the Heavens]. Wants JH to make any criticisms of it before it is published.
