| Title | Letter, from John William Lubbock to Sir John Herschel, dated at High Elms, Farnborough |
| Creator | John William Lubbock |
| Recipient | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 12 July 1862 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. John Frederick William Herschel's conjectures are natural but Augustus De Morgan had nothing to do with John William Lubbock's Treatise on Probability. John William Lubbock wrote it in conjunction with J. E. Drinkwater Bethune, although the title page does not show the names of the authors. Understands what John Frederick William Herschel means about the moon but cannot see what will be gained. Sorry to hear of John Frederick William Herschel's mishap. |
