Of isomorphic crystals and their varying behavior in response to heat, and of double stars.
Comments on a number of astronomical matters including double stars, awarding of medals, and on the elements of [Halley's] comet.
Is much obliged for his advice regarding [Stephen] Groombridge's catalogue. Will send him the proof sheets as available. Has he seen Gerard Moll's Decline of Science in England?
