  <dc:title>Letter from C [Charles] Pritchard, Honorary Secretary, Royal Astronomical Society, Freshwater, to Sir John [Frederick William Herschel]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>At the last meeting of Council [of the Astronomical Society] an application was made for the loan of the manuscript of [Johann Wilhelm] Pastorff's sunspots, confided to their keeping by Pritchard. Council were satisfied with the applicant and the purpose of the loan, but they feel a scruple. He asks Herschel to address his letter on the subject to Somerset House.  </dc:description>
