| Title | Letter from David Brewster, St Leonard's College, St Andrews, to [John Hall] Gladstone |
| Creator | Brewster; Sir David (1781-1868); British natural philosopher and academic administrator |
| Recipient | Gladstone; John Hall (1827-1902); British physical chemist |
| Date | 1 January 1859 |
| Description | Gives reference to an 1828 paper in the Edinburgh Journal of Science. Notes his own observations of a coloured double star with a rock salt prism and Sir James South's great telescope. Believes that Gladstone's observations are too important to consign to a magazine and suggests a joint publication. |
