Letter from Margaret Lindsay Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West], to Sir Joseph [Larmor] Huggins notes that 'no fewer than three books of great interest & value on Irish history have appeared recently', these being 'Ireland Under the Normans' by [Goddard Henry] Orpen; 'Revolutionary Ireland' by [Robert Henry] Murray; and 'Irish Nationality' by Mrs J R Green [Alice Stopford Green]. She comments on the interesting nature of the Home University Library, and comments that 'Whatever you may think of Mrs Green's views, you cannot fail, I think, to find her volume deeply moving'. She then comments on the recent political cartoon in the 'Pall Mall Gazette' depicting [Herber Henry] Asquith and a black shamrock. Huggins then expresses her joy at the update regarding the [William] Herschel work. She describes a recent visit to Cambridge to see the Huggins Observatory, and that she feels that Sir William would have been pleased with the arrangements, praising [Hugh Frank] Newall's work. However, she is disappointed that there is no sign or tablet stating its association with [Sir William Huggins], as she was under the impression that the Observatory was a memorial to Huggins. 17 August 1911
