| Title | Letter from [Sir Benjamin Collins] Brodie, Victoria Hotel, St Leonards-on-Sea, to Dr [William] Sharpey, [Secretary of The Royal Society] |
| Creator | Brodie; Sir; Benjamin Collins (1783 - 1862); surgeon |
| Date | c.1859 |
| Description | Mentions that the Medical and Chirurgical Society wants to collaborate with the Pathological Society to display morbid specimens, which they find unsuitable for their meeting room. Believes there will not be much discussion about this. Express hope that the recipient will visit them at Broome after their return, with more details to follow.
Comments on [Robert Wilhelm] Bunsen's intersting observations on the effects produced by the aliklies on the spectrum, and his speculations as to the atmosphere of the sun, will help his case for obtaining the Copley Medal. |
