Summary:

GG's book [Journals of Two Expeditions of Discovery in the North-West and Western Australia, 2 vols. (London: Boone, 1841)] is creating a sensation in London. Pleased to learn from it of the range of mountains named after JH. Hopes GG will carry out some study into the Aboriginal dialects. Standards of weight and measure should be sent to all Colonies. Important to have a magnetic survey of all colonized and colonizable parts of Australia.

Date:
1848-[6]
Source of text:
RS:HS 9.209 & 23.29
Summary:

Thanks for the offer of 25 copies of the Admiralty Manual. Thinks contributors should receive 6 copies instead of the 2 copies originally intended. Some misunderstanding of his proposals regarding returns of information. Printer has made a blunder in the Manual and JH has given orders for new pages to be substituted.
