Birthday wishes.
Has sent copy of his new book, Colour-sense [1879]; in anticipation of criticism, he justifies his reliance on recorded observations rather than experiments, by the heavy demands of his career as a journalist.
Seventieth birthday greetings.
Can give no information. Has never read works of Aristotle, but has unbounded respect for him as observer.
Has just heard that HM has been treated shamefully by his Government. What has happened?
Seventieth birthday greetings.
Send 70th birthday congratulations.
