Dear Faraday
You will see by the volume which I send you the sort of Capability for work which is possessed by our Colonial Observatories - and will be thereby the better able to judge of the importance of providing them with the proper means of making such observations on atmospheric Electricity as our present knowledge points out.
Sincerely Yours | Edward Sabine
I have written to Dr Robinson to ask him the number of degrees in one inch of the thermometer stem.
