Portée et contenu

Edinburgh - JDF enjoyed his stay in Cambridge. While Edinburgh University is a declining institution, 'the continued prosperity of the English universities is one of the happiest signs of the Times'. JDF congratulates WW on officially being made Vice-Chancellor of the University. He has sent WW a fourth letter on 'all the most essential elements of a mechanical theory' of glaciers. Robert Peel has taken no notice of JDF's application [for a Royal pension?, see JDF to WW, 22 December 1841]. JDF's paper on solar radiation for the Royal Society is to be made the Bakerian Lecture.
