Summary:

Submits payment to J. D. Roberton for 'Association' bills. Glad that ES approves of JH's draft article on terrestrial magnetism for Quarterly Review. Fears R.S.L. was premature in proposing experimental institutions; public was not prepared for such large expenditures for science. Prefers ES's suggestion of temporary magnetical and meteorological observatory. Strong disagreement from [C. J.] Riddell in America.
