Offers to send on to JH any notices of double star observations that he receives.
Offers to send on to JH any notices of double star observations that he receives.
Thanks RM for his offer [see RM's 1869-1-26]; wishes astronomers would develop an accepted system of indicating the quality of observations.
Asks JH if he wants to make any changes in his article on meteorology for a new edition of the Admiralty Manual.
Sends some remeasured double star positions from the Radcliffe Observatory, together with comments about other double star observations.
Regrets he is unable to correct his "little manual" ["Geology" in Manual of scientific enquiry (1849)]. Recommends that John Phillips revise it.
Directs RM and Charles Pritchard to examine late JH's manuscript on history of double stars, sent to Radcliffe Observatory.
