  <dc:title>Letter, from Adolphe Quetelet to Sir John Herschel, dated at Brussels</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Thanks for comments on Adolphe Quetelet's Sur l'homme moyen. Translator of John Frederick William Herschel's work is too timid to allow himself to be known, but appreciates John Frederick William Herschel's compliments. Says practical statistics has progressed whereas philosophical statistics remains stationary.</dc:description>
