| Title | Letter, from John William Lubbock to Sir John Herschel |
| Creator | John William Lubbock |
| Recipient | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 25 November 1847 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Regarding his own method of calculating the perturbations of the comets. Expense of computation is high for an individual and a mention by John Frederick William Herschel would bring support for his scheme. Would like to explain his method at an ordinary meeting in January. Every branch of science is facilitated by tables and those he suggests seem most desirable. |
