| Title | Letter from Edward Sabine, Limerick to Humphrey Lloyd, Trinity College, Dublin |
| Date | 26 January 1834 |
| Description | Lloyd is to alter the needles Sabine has sent him in any way he sees fit. Sabine provides Lloyd with a history of the needles. They were previously employed by Captain [John] Franklin in a dip circle on his 'land journey' [a reference to Franklin's second Canadian Arctic expedition 1825-1827]. The instrument and its needles were briefly passed to Mr David Douglas but he exchanged it with Sabine for a dip circle of different construction. Discussion of the Irish magnetic survey and whether James [Clark] Ross should be asked to help. |
