| Title | Letter, from David Brewster to Sir John Herschel, dated at Esk Hill by Roslin |
| Creator | David Brewster |
| Date | 4 October 1819 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Thanks for letter. Would he send his paper to [William?] Blackwood. Thinks it only fair that John Frederick William Herschel's first paper on light should be written on his own, providing he acknowledges his discoveries. Comments on recent experiments. Who has written the article on polarization in the recent Edinburgh Review? |
