Royal Observatory Greenwich - Could WW send GA 'a parcel of the mild Trinity ale - for which my "government" have a great esteem'. When GA was last in Cambridge Deighton [book publisher] told him that nearly all of GA's tracts were gone and wished to know what he intended to do: 'Can you help me with your council? I have hardly time to give such attention to the thing as would be necessary to keep it to level...also it is very likely that somebody else would do it better'.
