Summary:
Wondered what JH intended doing about the Presidency of the R.S.L. until he heard from Francis Baily that JH would not accept the offer to become a candidate. Has to review Charles Lyell's book on geology, which has been dedicated to himself. Where does he intend to settle down? Has he seen H. D. de Blainville's paper in the Comptes rendus?
