RS:HS 17.383b (C: 23.176; C: RI 499)
Summary:

Thanks for papers on diamagnetism and lecture on 'slaty cleavage.' Compares with phenomenon of 'ringing coins' in mint. Explains with examples conformity of JT's views with JH's own on geological stratification. Praises simplicity yet completeness of JT's work.

Summary:

Thanks for and comments on paper and lectures on 'diathermancy &c' of gases, scientific teaching, and solar chemistry. Regrets that JT mentioned all names connected with light research except JH's. Remarks on absorption of light, molecular vibrations.
