Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hills, to the Secretary of the Royal Society |
Creator | Huggins; Sir; William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
Date | 29 December 1904 |
Description | Huggins is 'glad' that the Royal Society is not one of the bodies which has been 'directly invisted' to suggest a candidate for the peace prize, therefore he has not used his private right as a Foreign Member of the Swedish Academy to support any candidate. However an idea which Huggins would support is that the King should be suggested as the recipient, as 'no one has done more for peace during the last year or two'. |
