My dear Sir
Sir D. Brewster 2 did not communicate to you Lord Rosse’s 3 opinion, but his own. Lord Rosse did not think it would be unadvisable for you to throw open your patents,4 to nor that the artistic and scientific world would not consider such a gift from you as a benefit and a boon; he merely doubted the expediency of calling a public meeting for the purpose of requesting you to do so, and on several accounts I fully concur with him on this point.
Yours very truly
C. Wheatstone.
