St James's Place - JWL has heard from Mrs Somerville [Mary Somerville] that 'you have been at work about the tides and I want much to see what you have done'. Did the Syndicate of the University Press agree to print his treatise? - if not he would like it back ['On the Determination of the Distance of a Comet from the Earth, and the Elements of its Orbit', 1832]. JWL hopes WW will be at the next Council: 'there was an unpleasant altercation between Mr Children and Mr Hudson at the last Council meeting' of the Royal Society which is likely to come before the council. WW will shortly receive a portion of the catalogue.
