Title Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to Professor A [Arthur] Schuster, Secretary of the Royal Society
Date20 January 1913
DescriptionSir Thomas Holderness has written to say that he will be very glad to see Schuster at the India Office next Friday, if he does not hear to the contrary he will assume that Schuster is going. In connection with the question of procedure in dealing with papers Harrison discusses practices and the question of accepting papers for reading without waiting for a decision as to their publication. There is often a delay in papers appearing in the Proceedings due to the fact that a paper has practically never been set down for reading until the question of its publication has been place beyond doubt and papers cannot be published before they have been read.
Harrison writes that the crux of the question of reading or not reading early in the history of a paper is the other question of reading or not reading early in the history of the paper is the other question of favouring the practice of offering an author withdrawal as an alternative to the Archives; because a paper cannot be withdrawn when it has once been read. Harrison thinks it would simplify the whole procedure if the question of reading were treated more often as a separate ne, and that stage was over as early as possible.
