Thanks WS for W. H. Wollaston's crystal models and other gifts. Comments on the 'strange and exciting events' that are in progress in political affairs.
Sending a large specimen of rock salt. Wants JH to make a lens for Mrs. Somerville, if possible. Discusses the political transitions that are occurring.
Will use rock salt to study heat spots. Discusses views of [Macedonio] Melloni regarding solar heat. If England can avoid the mistakes of her neighbors, she will enjoy a great triumph.
