Writes to clarify his understanding of the word 'fluorescence.' Asks JH to review a paper on color-blindness.
Further thoughts [see GS's 1856-6-27] on the nature of fluorescence, including that it is a transient phosphorescence.
Continues comments on fluorescence from letter of 1856-7-8; then shows mathematically that JH's solution for the problem of Mahomet's coffin [see GS's 1856-7-1] will not work.
Comments on one of the magnetism experiments JH described in his letter of 1856-7-14.
Sends [William?] Pole's paper on color blindness, in case JH wishes to examine it.
