JH carried portable barometer by Edward Troughton and thermometer by Mr. Newman to Europe and compared these to instruments used by individual scientists and observatories. Reports results to Board of Longitude.
Thanks TY for books and for taking charge of [G. A. A.] Plana's plates. JH mentioned Eilhard Mitscherlich only when no other proposals came forth. Matter was left hanging. Assures TY that JH was not offended [see TY's 1824-11-21, i.e., #1075]. Regrets 'dilapidated state of scientific matters' in R.S.L.
