Portée et contenu

WW does not have to personally read his paper on Crystallography to the Royal Society, but should provide an abstract of it. If read and approved it should be published in the second part of the Society Transactions for 1824 ['A General Method of Calculating the Angles Made by Any Planes of Crystals, and the Laws According to which They are Formed', Phil. Trans., 1825]. A nephew (Henry White) of two old friends of JH's has entered Queen's College to be educated for a missionary. He has no introduction at College, and consequently could become a 'Fanatic instead of a reasonable dissemination of God's word and the gifts of civilisation'. Would WW call on him and take occasional care of his progress.
