| Title | Letter from Edward Sabine to [James Clark] Ross, Cavendish Square, London |
| Date | 19th century |
| Description | Sabine discusses his work in magnetism. Refers to a paper by [Humphrey] Lloyd ‘describing a new apparatus for observing the dip and force’ applied to ‘higher magnetic latitudes’. Sabine is getting needles fitted to Lloyd’s plans and has ‘promised’ him to take the dip and force. Sabine intends to confer results with his old needle (Meyer’s) with the results from Lloyd’s dipping needle. |
