CreatorPrimrose; Sir; Henry William (1846-1823)
Date31 May 1894
DescriptionPrimrose remarks on the Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew calling attention 'to the fact that the Committee of the Royal Society which deals with the Observatory in the Richmond Old Deer Park has been formed into an association under the title of "The Incorporated Kew Committee of the Royal Society"'. Primrose refers to the Directors concerns that this will exacerbate confusion between the Royal Gardens, Kew and the Kew Observatory which already exists. Makes suggestions for 'a more accurately descriptive title for the Association'.
