Scope and content
Collingwood - Lord Auckland has requested JH to organise and edit 'a manual of scientific desiderata and queries to be placed in the hands of officers employed in surveying and exploring expeditions and on other similar services in which useful information may be collected'. JH understands that Lord Auckland asked WW to do something on tides - has he prepared anything yet?
