  <dc:title>Letter from W Scott, Observatory, Sydney to Edward Sabine</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Scott thanks Sabine’s letter and two books. Scott has ‘received authority to purchase an inclinometer and unifilar magnetometer’ and written to the Chairman of the Kew Committee regarding this. Scott informs Sabine that it is not ‘thought necessary’ to establish a set of differential instruments in Sydney due to the magnetical observatory at Melbourne. Remarks ‘the cause of science in this colony’ will suffer from the departure of Sir [William Thomas] Denison.</dc:description>
