Summary:

Glad JH finds CP's paper suitable for Admiralty Manual. JP allows question is physiological but also ethnological; admits problems but sticks to his thesis. Would JH be willing to assume a leading role in a planned new journal somewhat similar to the Athenaeum, but giving more attention to science?
