| Description | Acknowledges letter of complaint from The Royal Society. Relating to a loss of a substance which they claim they had delivered at The Royal Society in August 1825. From the Society's own statement it appears that a transaction originated from a mistake on the part of the Society, as they supported experiments without verifying proposals. Argues that the Society cannot be held responsible for an article they never possessed. While willing to help with an inquiry about the article's whereabouts, the authors suggest that the Royal Society demand the return of the article from the person to whom it was delivered. |
