| Title | Letter from the Earl of Rosse, [President of the Royal Society], Castle Parsonstown, to [Colonel Edward Sabine], Treasurer of the Royal Society |
| Date | 6 November 1854 |
| Description | Expressing dissatisfaction at the extent of his presidential duties compared to the influence the Council of the Society can exert. This is in part due to Lord Rosse's suggestions for the list of proposed members of the Society being omitted from the final list, the Duke of Argyll and Lord Ashburton. Rosse requests his name be omitted from Council so as to assure unanimous decisions in the future.
