Asks that in JD's lectures at King's College, London, he remove an unfair and incorrect reference to JH.
In an article commenting on a pamphlet about the alleged decline of science in England, JH's name has frequently been taken in vain. JH writes to protest.
Wants to ensure that a letter of JH's on the decline of science controversy is to be published in Brewster's journal.
Surprised at JS's response [see 1831-11-28] to his offer. Because the offer was well intentioned, repeats it and hopes that their mutual interests will lead to continued correspondence.
Thanks JD for his letter [see JD's 1831-11-26].
