Letter from Edward Edwards, Old Hutton [?] near Manchester, to the Council of the Royal Society Requesting permission to make copies of plates from Sir Humphry Davy's paper on Herculaneum in the 'Philosophical Transactions'. Edwards needs these for a work on ancient and modern libraries, a prospectus of which he encloses. The third page contains a note, dated 19 January 1857, from a Fellow [?] vouching for Edwards' request. [Enclosure not present.] 16 January 1857
