SIR,

Having received no authentic abstract of your paper on M. Foucaults Pendulum Experiment ¹ read at the Edinburgh Ipswich Meeting, I shall be obliged by your transmitting one to me without delay, as the Volume in which it should appear is now in the Press.

I have the honour to be, Yours very truly,
JOHN PHILLIPS,
Assistant-General Secretary.

[on verso:]

I think it desirable to preserve the recommendation of the Point suspension & Bar, & for this purpose should wish to take a nearly full excerpt from the part headed A proposed New Experiment.
