  <dc:title>Letter from Sir William Huggins, President of the Royal Society, to the Secretary [of the Royal Society]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thinks that [Sir George] Darwin's suggestion of £200-300 for the standard [a geodetic measuring instrument, this one from the Russian Government] seems excessive, and might be objected to by the [shipping] company. Encloses a letter from Mr Simms [CD/47/10] about the instrument. Also discusses an unsolicited paper sent to the Royal Society by a 'faddist'. </dc:description>
