Sends thanks and very high praise for AH's first volume of Kosmos. Also comments on a number of other astronomical matters.
Discusses MS's light experiments. JH will present the results to Royal Society. Describes apparatus that may help her. Recently attended a meeting concerning continental magnetics and meteorology.
Hopes extracts from Mary Somerville's letters on her experiments with 'Coloration of Light,' specifically, 'action of rays on vegetable juices,' can be read to R.S.L.
