Edinburgh - JDF was pleased WW left the Edinburgh BAAS meeting with 'agreeable recollections'. He has moved with his sister to the town for the winter. A connection between Edinburgh and the Cambridge bookseller, Deighton, is now completely established by the sale of WW's mechanics. There is no reason now why Deighton should not send down every new book published: 'I beg you therefore to give Deighton to understand that he should send (through Baldwin) one or two copies of every mathematical book he publishes, and several of such books as yours, Airy's, Peacock's and Miller's which I am assured would sell to a certain extent'. The conduct of Cambridge booksellers in London is shameful.
