  <dc:title>Letter from Francis Baily, 37 Tavistock Place to [Francis] Beaufort</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Bailey has finished the computation for deducing the figure of the earth from the totality of Captain ? pendulum experiments. Bailey’s result nearly agrees with Captain [Edward] Sabine’s results. Bailey discusses finding the same anomalies arising from local attraction. Bailey now intends to deduce the figure [of the earth] from a combination of all experiments made with invariable pendulum. Bailey asks Beaufort what became of No 3 and No 4 pendulums.</dc:description>
