| Title | Letter, from John William Lubbock to Sir John Herschel |
| Creator | John William Lubbock |
| Date | 17 April 1845 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Has been with Philip Melvill of the East India Co. discussing the printing of the observations. Would it be a good use of John Frederick William Herschel's photographic papers to take a reverse of William Parsons' (3rd Earl of Rosse) drawings of nebulae? Cannot obtain Nicolas Clement-Desormes's or John Sharpe's papers. Doubts if the mode of measuring latent heat hitherto used can be recommended for accuracy. |
