Response to questions on magnetic circular sent out by JH [see JH's 1844-12-5].
Has not seen enough magnetical and meteorological observations to judge their effectiveness. Encourages British government to continue these, but perhaps reduce frequency.
Pleased to hear that the magnetic observations are to be continued for a further three years. Mode of conducting observations in some foreign observatories would seem to need improvement. Has made a series of observations of magnetic inclination, which will be published in the sixth volume of Resultate.
The instructions for making magnetic and meteorological observations are to be revised. JH asks CG's advice about this.
[Writing as an addendum to a letter on magnetic observatories circulated by Edward Sabine], JH states that various publication concerning magnetic observations will be sent to CG.
CG having now received the Greenwich and Toronto observations, JH invites CG to write further material for the forthcoming publication.
Writing on behalf of the B.A.A.S. Magnetic and Meteorological Committee, JH invites CG to submit a reply to the materials sent to him.
