Scope and content

Salford, Manchester - EH hopes WW will accept his enclosed essays, and hopes it supplies some of the deficiencies adverted by WW in his preface to his Treatise on Mechanics. As Vice President of the BAAS, would WW allow him to give an abstract of his paper at the next meeting in Cambridge. He hopes WW excuses his boldness in sending him his work, but he was encouraged to do so by the positive reactions he had already received from Dr Gregory [Olinthus Gregory] and Mr Barlow [Peter Barlow].
