Scope and content
Trinity College, Dublin - HL has obtained from the Provost the permission WW desired, and has transmitted to Major Temple the order conveying it: 'The gardens are in beautiful condition, and (botanically) well arranged'. His magnetical work has been confined to the task of improving the methods of observing. The next task will be to obtain empirical laws from the data. In the higher task of connecting these laws with physical principles - Gauss is likely to have the principal share. HL hopes that the recent agitation will not keep WW from the Cork BAAS meeting. Lord Rosse's 6 foot aperture speculum will then be completed.
