  <dc:title>Letter, from Herbert Spencer to Sir John Herschel, dated at 29 Bloomsbury Square</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Doubts the claim that Auguste Comte has significantly influenced English scientists. Asks whether John Frederick William Herschel believes Comte has influenced John Frederick William Herschel or others. Asks whether it is more difficult to calculate the moon's motion or the motion of a projectile through a resisting medium.</dc:description>
