Response to questions on magnetic circular sent out by JH [see JH's 1844-12-5].
Has not seen enough magnetical and meteorological observations to judge their effectiveness. Encourages British government to continue these, but perhaps reduce frequency.
Encourages board of directors to pay for publication of magnetic and meteorological observations made at four H.E.I.C. observatories. Names countries that participated in global survey.
