Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
Date | 2 January 1906 |
Description | Huggins sends good wishes for the new year. It has been suggested to him that he put together some of his Addresses, which have interest outside of the Royal Society, into a small book with illustrations connected with the Society. His suggestion for the title is 'The Royal Society: An Appreciation', with a second title referring to science and education. He asks if Larmor thinks this would be taken favourably by the Officers and Council. He hopes that 'some little stimulus might be given to science and education' and that the 'good silent work' of the Society will be appreciated. |
