[3 December 1846]
Source of text:

Agrees reluctantly to serve as Foreign Secretary of R.A.S., but will be unable to attend most meetings. JH's [Cape Results] is nearing publication; needs to know where he can get the plate [of JH's portrait]. Urges that if J. C.

Herschel3706

From:
Sir John Herschel
To:
Richard Sheepshanks
Date:
[17 December 1846]
Source of text:
RS:HS 16.49 (C: RS:HS 25.9.26)
Summary:

Does not want the R.A.S. to make any assertions with respect to priority regarding the discovery of Neptune: '...though Neptune ought to have been born an Englishman and a Cambridge man every inch of him,' you will never make 'an English Discovery of it do what you will.' States that [J. C.] Adams is owed much. If The R.A.S. throws down the gauntlet, this will do much 'mischief' and demoralize Adams.
