Flattered that AQ wants JH's remarks to preface AQ's new work. No need to send French translation of JH's work. Asks AQ to omit certain passages.
Apologizes for not writing. Has devoted all his time to Physique sociale. Has just finished last page.
Sends back excellent translation of his review with minor corrections. Mentions 'fine display of meteors with long trains' on 10 August. Gives news of his son Lieutenant John Herschel's observations. Acknowledges works received.
Offers translation of JH's review [of AQ's Lettres sur la théorie des probabilités] to look over. Has been updating his own text to reflect progress.
Sends first pages of JH's work on theory of probability. Asks for modifications.
Thanks for comments on AQ's Sur l'homme moyen. Translator of JH's work is too timid to allow himself to be known, but appreciates JH's compliments. Says practical statistics has progressed whereas philosophical statistics remains stationary.
Thanks for proofed pages. Received Astronomische Beobachtungen auf der Sternwarte zu Bonn. Finished determining by electric means the different observational longitudes of Leiden and Brussels.
Announces first volume of Physique sociale will appear soon. Discusses humans and law of nature. Says science is neglected in France.
