Summary:
Sends Knowles's paper for his comments. The Board of Longitude has now been officially dissolved. Hopes the R.S.L. will not take on its work unless well paid by the government. Answers to JH's queries regarding the Nautical Almanac and other works of the Board of Longitude. Present time not good for state recognition of science.
