Letter of introduction for the Prince de Cimitil, and Prince de Casiati, who are spending a few days in Cambridge.
Having now learned that the offensive article in the Edinburgh Review was by DB [see DB's 1831-12-1], JH writes in surprise that DB could have written what he did, and requests that JH's letter [see JH's 1831-11-25] be returned unpublished. JH will decide how to proceed.
Mr. Murray will bring to DB two papers by JH, one on hyposulfurous acid and one on mathematical analysis, plus requested abstract of JH's and William Herschel's 'last papers' in R.S.P.T.
Letter to [Edinburgh Philosophical] Journal calling attention to 1809 article by [Paul] Erman of Berlin, which some say anticipated JH's 1824 Bakerian lecture on 'Motions produced in fluid conductors when transmitting the Electric current.' JH compares both papers, admits Erman's priority on some theoretical points but claims originality for JH's experiments.
Received Dr. [T. R.] Robinson's memorial to John Russell. Believes six-foot reflector could have been obtained as easily as a three-foot reflector.
