| Title | Draft letter from J F W [John Frederick William] Herschel, Collingwood, to George Smith, 65 Cornhill |
| Creator | Herschel; Sir John Frederick William; first baronet (1792-1871); British mathematician and astronomer |
| Date | 10 March 1862 |
| Description | Herschel asks whether Smith thinks that a translation of Book 1 of Homer ['The Iliad'] in hexameters would find favour with the editor of the Cornhill Magazine. It would be submitted for his judgement if Smith could give him a precise address. He will send it for perusal. He has desired to place something with Cornhill since it started, but has not yet seen a common ground on which they could meet.
Draft written on the verso of an original note from Joseph Gould [HSF/1/2/63]. |
