Summary:

Many thanks for his replies to the queries of Francis Jeffrey's (Lord Jeffrey); they will be appreciated. Use of the word 'vindicated' not happy. Mr. Moriarty called yesterday; he is not appreciated in England. Will send copy of JH's review to Alexander von Humboldt. Hopes he will review the 2nd volume. The Joneses are at Pall Mall, and William Whewell in Paris.

[George] Peacock asks for more time for his review. Enough science in vol. 2 to tempt JH. JH should be the new editor for Brown. Will send Alexander von Humboldt a copy of the review unless he thinks it should come from the author and not the editors. Returns to Haileybury on Thursday.
