| Date | 15 February 1865 |
| Description | Copy of letter, copied as part of the correspondence project led by Colonel John Herschel FRS following the death of his father. Does not gainsay the influence of distribution of land and sea on the climate. The change of eccentricity is also a powerful influence. Comments on this. Sees that Charles Lyell's book is published. Is it too late to send his drawings of the earth pyramids? |
