  <dc:title>Letter from Edward Sabine, [Treasurer of the Royal Society], Woolwich, to Thomas Bell, [Secretary of the Royal Society]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Regarding [William Henry] Smyth's withdrawing of the first paragraph of his circular to the members of the Southern Telescope Committee. Sabine claims this would have the consequence that Dr [Thomas Romney] Robinson's letter regarding the content of the first paragraph, the supposed inferiority or superiority to the Cape Astronomical Observatory, should no longer be laid before the committee. </dc:description>
