Has taken Mary Somerville's manuscript [On Molecular and Microscopic Science] to John Murray. Would like JH's opinion on the scientific value of her manuscript, and if he could assist her in seeing it through the press.
Wonders if mathematical result recently presented by [J. A.] Serret was published many years ago by JH. Comments on recurrence of identical problems in mathematical study.
Thanks JH for promptly signing memorial [see CB's 1866-9-28].
