Did not realize his question would require so much of JH's valuable time to answer. Hopes to introduce some safe German Philosophy into the appropriate departments at Trinity College. Will look into the Lehrbuch.
Received his letter enclosing Edward Sabine's a few days ago on returning home. Busy at College; otherwise would have written. Could have attended a meeting of Committee of Physics had he known. Discovery of the new planet is a triumph. Has he heard of the attempt to destroy the telescope of William Parsons (3rd Earl of Rosse)?
