  <dc:title>Letter, from Thomas Young to Sir John Herschel, dated at 48 Welbeck St.</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Ask Charles Babbage to send tables of logarithms to Thomas Young, who will compare them to [Brook] Taylor's. Bets that five errors will be found. Did John Frederick William Herschel order mountain barometer from [J. F.] Newman? Will inquire about [W. E.] Parry's instruments. Admiralty, not us, should order sextants.</dc:description>
