As 'perpetual Secretary' of the Academy, AQ expresses thanks for JH's work 'On the Advantages to be Obtained by a Revision and Re-arrangement of the Constellations.'
Thanks for letter of 3 December and for encouragement. Informs JH that 30 observatories participated in observation of winter solstice. Is beginning to study humans in their different relations.
Sends works on meteorology and instructions for natural periodic phenomena. More proselytes in horary observations. Asks for JH's recommendations for those observing meteors in the other hemisphere.
Stresses importance of development and phases of periodic phenomena on earth's surface. Magnitudes of stars are the only observations JH is doing. Asks for help in planning trip on continent for three of his daughters and their governess.
Thanks JH for interest taken in periodic phenomena. Discusses train information and preferred hotel accommodations for JH's visit.
Thanks for assistance in preparing trip. JH's daughters will probably not stay in Brussels long. Mentions his first engraving for Cape observations of nebulae is to be engraved this very day. Three quarters of his reductions of the southern sweeps are completed.
Continues horary observations suggested by JH. Also magnetic observations. Discusses observations of migration of birds. November has been cloudy so far and meteors cannot be seen.
Has succeeded in increasing stations around Alps for meteorological observations. [G. B.] Airy is very obliging. Hopes one day to collect all meteorological observations in Sur le climat de la Belgique.
Has worked hard to augment number of stations for horary observations. Now close to 80. Asks JH's advice whether the R.S.L. or B.A.A.S. would print his observations.
Will attempt to arrange publication and reception of AQ's work in England. Grieves that AQ has suffered attacks because of his zeal in meteorological observations.
Thanks for letter regarding equinoxes and solstices. Intends to work on physical phenomena of globe. Resumes meteorological observations. Awaits Cape Results.
Requests information on behalf of the Magnetic and Meteorological Committee of the B.A.A.S. Desires AQ's assessment of past achievements by 1845-3-10. Lists works to be forwarded before end of year.
Includes copies of AQ's reply to circular sent previously [1844-12-5]. Requests additional information by 1845-6-15 and, if possible, AQ's presence at the meeting on 19 June.
Deprived of news from JH. Works on physical phenomena of globe. Calls attention to [J. C. A.] Peltier's work on electricity of air of barometer. Asks JH to please write soon.
Looks to reap fruits of observations. AQ's treatise on atmospheric waves has not arrived. R.S.L. has refused to 'receive and retain works communicated through them.'
Thanks JH for introducing him to Robert Kane. Hears that JH will publish Cape results. Impatient to see them. Mentions JH's philosophical work.
[Form letter] Royal Academy of Science and Humanities acknowledges receipt of JH's Cape Results.
Thanks AQ for package No. 32. Asks AQ to acknowledge receipt of JH's Cape Results. Commends AQ for outstanding work on magnetic meteorological and periodic phenomena.
Thanks JH for a copy of JH's Cape Results. Is pleased by JH's encouragement of AQ's meteorological observations, about which AQ comments further. Speaks of a family of comets related to Mars and Jupiter and asks JH's opinion about this.
Hopes JH has received letter thanking JH for Cape Results. Sends meteorological work. Hopes to quit barometric wave observations of atmospheric waves. Has worked with aides on meteorological variations. AQ's mother died.
