Herschel1026

From:
Sir John Herschel
To:
William Vernon Harcourt
Date:
[5 September 1831]
Source of text:
RS:HS 25.2.18
Summary:

Favors concept of organization [B.A.A.S.] to guide scientific research and disseminate discoveries, but doubts that one is possible. Particular societies promoting special subjects are more likely to succeed. Anyone devoted to promoting such societies will have little time for research. Prefers to follow JH's own pursuits. Does not know James South's opinion.
