Collingwood - Thanks WW for his account of how 'capillary attraction used to be put in the good old time. I must confess I am not convinced - still less by Young's notice that the column is held up by the tension of the upper surface'. JH is to write a brief biographical sketch of George Peacock for the Royal Society, and needs WW's help with dates and events at Cambridge relating to GP.
