Regarding the printing of Thomas Maclear's Survey papers. Work on magnetical and meteorological observations.
Sends JH a copy of extracts from unpublished papers on the question of standards, and asks for JH's comments on these extracts.
Copies of report are available if JH's friends on Board [of Visitors] want to see it. R.S.L. selected GA's polarity paper for Bakerian Lectures. Thanks for JH's influence.
Requests the views of JH, and all other Standards Commission members, on the various subjects before the Commission; GA will compile these and circulate them to all Commission members to expedite discussions at future meetings.
