| Title | Letter from John J Bennett, British Museum |
| Date | 16 November 1839 |
| Description | Letter describing the resignation of Dr Charles Hutton as Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society and the resulting furore. Bennett describes the period (1783-1784) as "years of the great rebellion in the Royal Society".
The letter is a result of a request by Bennett's correspondent (whose name is obscured). Bennett attempts to investigate Hutton's resignation through the books of the Royal Society but finds it difficult to do so. |
