  <dc:title>Letter, from Robert FitzRoy to Sir John Herschel, dated at Meteorological Dept., B.o.T.</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Enjoyed reading the dialogues of Hermogenes and Hermione [John Frederick William Herschel's 'On Atoms']. Found William Higgins's book some years ago and it appeared the basis for John Dalton's views. Finds astronomy and geology the basis for Old Testament inspiration. How absurd is the modern notion of circuits.</dc:description>
