Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to David Brewster, dated at Slough Contemporary copy in sender's hand, signed by sender. Having now learned that the offensive article in the Edinburgh Review was by David Brewster [see David Brewster's 1831-12-1], John Frederick William Herschel writes in surprise that David Brewster could have written what he did, and requests that John Frederick William Herschel's letter [see John Frederick William Herschel's 1831-11-25] be returned unpublished. John Frederick William Herschel will decide how to proceed. 8 December 1831
