Portée et contenu

Allerly by Melrose - DB has read WW's essay on mineralogical classification with much pleasure, and considers it a vast improvement upon Mohs's system [Friedrich Mohs] - 'a provisional system which will soon disappear'. Hopes WW will now devote his time to examining the properties of individual minerals. Could WW send him any unknown information on Isaac Newton to assist him with his biography.
