| Title | Letter from George Gabriel Stokes, to Samuel Haughton, regarding a paper 'On the reflexion of polarized light from polished surfaces, transparent and metallic' by Samuel Haughton |
| Date | 24 July 1862 |
| Description | Not all of the referee's reports were received in time for the meeting of the Council for the matter to be fully discusses, although it was briefly touched upon. The Council were unclear on the reasons the paper was presented for publication after the full experimentations of Jules Jamin. If the author considers their results to be more accurate than Jules Jamin's, the Council would require evidence for this assertion. Some possible points of error and objection were discussed. Request the author responds with his own views on the relation between his results and those of Jules Jamin.
