Académie belgique: #41 (C: #42)
Summary:

Has consulted with publisher of JH's 1850 review of AQ's book. Is flattered and sees no reason why AQ's enlarged work cannot prefix or append a French translation of JH's review. Publisher requests written acknowledgement. Asks AQ to attach a note, correcting his archery example.
