Title | Letter from William de Wiveleslie Abney, to John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, regarding a paper 'Total eclipse of the sun observed at Caroline Island, on 6th May, 1883' by William de Wiveleslie Abney |
Date | 9 August 1887 |
Description | The paper was written under conditions making the work a serious labour. The current paper should be printed before the paper covering the most recent eclipse. Will attempt to meet the remarks of the referee, who would appear to be a friend, and thinks the remarks would have come better from themselves.
