Item 77 - Letter from John Herschel

Collingwood - Thanks WW for his two papers. JH did not think Hegel 'had been quite so shallow and conceited'. There are quite a few people who set up Kepler in Newton's place who have never heard of Hegel: they need to be taught 'what is meant by science'. JH gives a problem suggested by a method calculating double star orbits which requires an intrinsic equation.
