  <dc:title>Letter from William Sharpey, to George Gabriel Stokes, regarding a paper 'An account of experiments on the change of the elastic force of a constant volume of atmospheric air, between 32° F. and 212° F., and also on the temperature of the melting-point of mercury' by Balfour Stewart</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Suggests letting the author continue his research until he is ready for the paper to be published in the Philosophical Transactions, but the judgement is best left to one who is 'conversant with the subject'. Has let Richard Owen know that George Gabriel Stokes expects the proposal regarding Archeopteryx to come from him direct [RR/5/161 and RR/5/162].
