Herschel8329

From:
Sir John Herschel
To:
William Radcliffe Birt
Date:
[16 March 1848]
Source of text:
RS:HS 19.132
Summary:

Returns WB's draft with JH's editorial corrections. Admiralty has no objection to WB publishing it as separate article. JH will write instructions on 'general' meteorological observations to fill gaps left by WB's and Charles Wheatstone's specialized instructions. Devote time to analyzing existing observations, not to making more.
