| Title | Letter, from Roderick Impey Murchison to Sir John Herschel, dated at 16 Belgrave Square |
| Creator | Roderick Impey Murchison |
| Date | 3 April 1865 |
| Description | Autograph letter signed by sender. Thanks for letter, but has not received W. E. Hickson's memoir. Regrets John Frederick William Herschel sees no use in a survey of the North Pole region. The scheme seems to be one that the President of the Geographical Society should encourage. The ribald buffoonery of the Times has done much good amongst the scientific world. |
