| Title | Copy letter, from Sir John Herschel to David Brewster, dated at Slough |
| Creator | John Frederick William Herschel |
| Date | 8 December 1831 |
| Description | Contemporary copy in sender's hand, signed by sender. Having now learned that the offensive article in the Edinburgh Review was by David Brewster [see David Brewster's 1831-12-1], John Frederick William Herschel writes in surprise that David Brewster could have written what he did, and requests that John Frederick William Herschel's letter [see John Frederick William Herschel's 1831-11-25] be returned unpublished. John Frederick William Herschel will decide how to proceed. |
