Requesting him to become a member of the newly formed Anthropological Society.

Enjoyed reading the dialogues of Hermogenes and Hermione [JH's 'On Atoms']. Found William Higgins's book some years ago and it appeared the basis for John Dalton's views. Finds astronomy and geology the basis for Old Testament inspiration. How absurd is the modern notion of circuits.

Regarding their journals and publication dates.

Is grateful for the note and brochure. Is grieved to hear of the illness in his family. His own health is not good. Comments on the article on Telescopes by JH in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

The missing parts will be sent in the Spring. The Academy would be pleased to receive any of JH's publications. Thanks for the pamphlet 'On Atoms.'

WS's photographer may get a grant from the R.S.L. Object glass for new telescope was stolen. They are still using the old one.

Thanks JH for sending HS a copy of JH's dialogue ['On Atoms']. Comments on it.

Further inquiries on photographic processes.

Eighteen months ago, JH sent to JW autographs of William and Caroline Herschel and Baron von Humboldt. Now seeks another of each.

Is pleased that the Government have put Sir Thomas Maclear on the Civil list. Has read JH's paper on atoms with much interest and amusement. Hopes that JH will call at the Observatory when in Oxford. Finds the R. C. Carrington transit circle a valuable instrument. Comments on his observations.

Pleased to hear that the memorial on behalf of Thomas Maclear has been successful. Comments on the mild weather. Hopes the health of his daughter is improving.

Is preparing a popular work on astronomical phenomena and would welcome copies of JH's Outlines Astr. and Cape Results.

Is pleased H. J. Temple (3rd Viscount Palmerston) has replied so promptly to JH's memorial regarding Thomas Maclear. Would like JH's sanction for JL's support of George Rümker as the new Observer at Hamburg.

Note accompanying payment for 'Notes on Science' for Cornhill Magazine.

Is sending JH a list of 38 nebulae, their positions reduced to 1830, and described using the terms that JH uses. Comments on some of the difficulties in identifying the nebulae, and includes reference to other astronomer's work.

Wrote to [A.] Sawitsch regarding Russian pendulum experiments. Encloses Sawitsch's reply. Discusses experimental possibilities.

Thanks JH for the efforts made on behalf of his brother, Adalbart Adolf Mühry. [The London Medical Relief Fund was only intended for residents of England, and so could not help.]

Informing JH that TN's father died this morning.

Warren de La Rue has suggested that WB apply for a government grant to further his researches on the lunar surface. Would be grateful for his support.

Is sending JH the completed sheets of nebula reductions for printing [see JH's 1863-2-6].
