Personally would like to have F. W. A. Argelander's work printed [see GA's 1848-9-13], but will need to get a wider opinion; also asks about sharing money available from the Admiralty [see GA's 1845-10-24].
Explains how the money from the Admiralty came to be awarded as it was [see JH's 1848-9-24].
Comments about the proposed Venus parallax expedition and their method of measurement [see JH's 1848-9-24].
Sends comments on the pages of JH's account of the moon's motions [see JH's 1848-9-25].
Concerning the eighth satellite. Observations on U. J. J. Leverrier's paper.
Comments on observational quality obtainable with the great telescope of William Parsons [Earl of Rosse].
JH has revised his account of the moon's motions given in JH's Treatise Astr. in preparation for JH's Outlines Astr.

Encloses perturbation sheets for checking.

Regarding Isaac Newton's theory of the motion of the moon's apse. Concerning the reliability of J. H. Seyfforth's theories. Status of the Ipswich Philosophical Society.
JH begs to differ with GA and Isaac Newton on the moon's motions [see GA's 1848-10-13]; warns GA against accepting J. H. Seyffert's work as accurate.
Further regarding GA's defense of Isaac Newton's theory on the moon. J. H. Seyfforth's theories seem plausible. Ipswich Philosophical Society.
Still arguing that Isaac Newton is not correct concerning the moon's motions [see GA's 1848-10-24].
Regarding the annual equation of the moon's motion.
Further regarding his dispute with Isaac Newton's theory on the moon.
Will now work with S. J. A. Compton, the President of the R.S.L., to try to get fair treatment for another applicant for the Admiralty money [see GA's 1848-9-25].
