Proposes continuing work on JH's [Catalogue of] Nebulae, and not worrying about funding. Gives details of money and time spent so far. Work is about half done.
Sorry to hear about JH's pain. Encloses notes from GA's testimony to parliamentary committee investigating changing standards of weights and measures. GA's work continues on 'veritable precessions.'
Little work remaining in calculations for JH's nebulae. Likes JH's plan to represent 'the quantification of different qualifications' by numbers. Hold payment until work is done. Astounding disturbances in 'magnetic curves' (1841-1857). GA now accepts usefulness of magnetic observatories.
Astronomische Nachrichten 1392 compares positions of forty nebulae by G. F. J. A. von Auwers, H. L. d'Arrest, and P. E. Laugier. Calculations for JH's [Catalogue of] Nebulae are complete and ready for inspection.
Not surprised that actual costs [of publishing JH's catalogue of nebulae] departed from estimates. Reports vote by [R.S.L.] committee. Does not believe publication will be expensive.
Returned JH's 'original sheets of nebulae.' Kept sheets of calculations. Will write about money accounts later. Lord Palmerston's communication about Thomas Maclear's pension.
Received £10 for cost of reducing JH's 'Catalogue of Nebulae.' Send description of catalogue.
Accounts for money spent in reducing JH's catalogue of nebulae. Encloses sample page from catalogue and Astronomische Nachrichten No. 1392 [see JH's 1862-11-18].
