Thanks for JH's article on meteorology from the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Has been investigating climatology lately. His own health has not been good. Sends some of his own reprints that may be of interest.
Article on glaciers is from the Encyclopaedia Britannica and was restricted because of space. Mistakes by John Tyndall and others have arisen because his own Letters on Glaciers has been overlooked. William Whewell is to be married.
Has he read John Tyndall's paper on the plasticity of ice and the theory of glaciers? Indebted to Michael Faraday for some excellent observations and the term 'Regulation.'
