Has been contemplating a larger work on Light, but thinks he may be able to write a shorter, more popular work for the Cabinet Cyclopaedia. Wonders who the other contributors will be.
Is now prepared to write a signed article on light requested by DL [see JH's 1828-7-25]; JH encourages DL to ask William Whewell, W. H. Fitton, and George Peacock to write as well; recommends against use of color printing of pictures as the reproduction is too poor.
Accepts arrangement proposed by DL. JH will write a volume on astronomy [Treatise Astr.], but will need time. 14852
Is reluctant to sign any certificates for memberships in the R.S.L. just now [does not explain reason].
Some comments about the [Vignette] together with its return.
