Summary:
No mention of Emmanuel Liais's L'espace céleste in English journals. Contact London publishers to find translator for it. Alexander Herschel is now professor of natural philosophy at Andersonian Institution in Glasgow. Hopes JB's elegant method of measuring gravity by torsion will not die before being put into practice.
