James David Forbes to William Whewell
Add. MS a/204/4 · Item · 4 Oct. 1831
Part of Additional Manuscripts a

Boroughbridge - Thanks WW for his kind letter . 'I rejoice to say that it [the first BAAS meeting at York] has gone off in a way which left nothing to wish' - despite the absence of so many leading British men of science. Vernon Harcourt, 'one of the most interesting men I have here met with has the entire merit of the 'British Association' which is now fairly set on foot'. JDF is pleased to say that the Archbishop and clergy have also shown the utmost warmth for the objects of the meeting. Next year is fixed for Oxford: William Buckland is to be President and both WW and David Brewster have been elected Vice-Presidents.
