Suggests changes for JH's paper on Swedish felspar submitted to Geological Society. Confusion between this and other silicates. Compares JH's analysis to that of Wilhelm Hisinger and others.
Discussed JH's proposed felspar paper [see HW's 1816-4-24] with W. H. Wollaston. Suggests using Wollaston's and [recently deceased Smithson] Tennant's unpublished method to test for alkalis and give Tennant credit for it. James Smithson first coined term 'silicate'.
