Is preparing a popular work on astronomical phenomena and would welcome copies of JH's Outlines Astr. and Cape Results.
Would like some contributions from JH for the Churchman's Family Magazine.
The missing parts will be sent in the Spring. The Academy would be pleased to receive any of JH's publications. Thanks for the pamphlet 'On Atoms.'
Received manuscript of JH's translation of third book of Iliad.
Received JH's translation of fourth book of Iliad. Will return it with comments in a few days. Attended two or three excellent lectures by JH's son. HH needs to balance mental efforts with more physical activity.
Many thanks for his information. Comments again on the prize being offered by the Academy. The answer is now being published by the R.S.L.
After receiving testimonials of the highest order he has appointed [Albert?] Marth to be his assistant. Encloses some observations of nebulae. If JH's sons are visiting Malta he would be pleased to see them.
Is pleased H. J. Temple (3rd Viscount Palmerston) has replied so promptly to JH's memorial regarding Thomas Maclear. Would like JH's sanction for JL's support of George Rümker as the new Observer at Hamburg.
Informs JW that JH has received notice from H. J. Temple [Lord Palmerston] that Thomas Maclear is to be put on the next list to receive a pension.
Remains unconvinced by RF's ideas on gravitating lunisolar action on the atmosphere.
Is pleased that the Government have put Sir Thomas Maclear on the Civil list. Has read JH's paper on atoms with much interest and amusement. Hopes that JH will call at the Observatory when in Oxford. Finds the R. C. Carrington transit circle a valuable instrument. Comments on his observations.
Is honored by DM's letter and proposal to dedicate his book [Traité général de photographie] to JH. Points out some errors of attribution he would like incorporated if not too late. Pass on his good wishes to J. A. F. Plateau.
Received his letter and comments with pleasure. Asks some questions on photographic experiments.
Further inquiries on photographic processes.
