Letter, from Humphrey Lloyd to Sir John Herschel, dated at Trinity College, Dublin Autograph letter signed by sender. Received his letter enclosing Edward Sabine's a few days ago on returning home. Busy at College; otherwise would have written. Could have attended a meeting of Committee of Physics had he known. Discovery of the new planet is a triumph. Has he heard of the attempt to destroy the telescope of William Parsons (3rd Earl of Rosse)? 17 October 1846
