30 Torrington Square - JH encloses a copy of a genealogical and biographical treatise of his family: 'It contains all that I have been able to discover respecting him [Field - presumably John Field the early English Astronomer], and I can not without hope that you may think he was an Englishman whose name ought not to be wholly passed over on speaking of men who have done something for the advancement of Science'. Field's tracts are very rare. JH is sorry he could not be of more help concerning Bacon but has become accustomed to think that almost everything concerning him has already been written by his numerous biographers. Nevertheless he supplies several references. JH provides information concerning several other people.
