| Title | Copy postcard from 'W H' [William Huggins], 90 Upper Tulse Hill, London, to Professor [Thomas Jefferson Jackson] See, Naval Observatory, Mare Island, California, USA |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir; William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Date | 20 January 1910 |
| Description | A joint committee of the Royal Society and Royal Astronomical Society will conside the republication of Sir William Herschel's papers. This will involve a large expense, since papers volumes do not sell. Canbridge [University] Press lost so much money on [George Gabriel] Stokes' papers that they would not print Kelvin's without a large subsidy from Lady Kelvin.
With a pasted-on typed note: 'Interesting souvenir. Photograph of a postcard sent in response to Professor See's personal appeal to Sir Wm. Huggins...' |
