Portée et contenu

RS had intended to be in Cambridge now but he finds that lectures do not begin as soon as he thought. Further, 'Tate's daughters are in town and I must ask them and help to entertain them'. He will be in Cambridge around about the 20th unless Haviland's lectures begin earlier. RS finds 'that Young [Thomas Young] has treated the Prof.'s [George Airy] speculations upon the Solar tables and their errors somewhat cavalierly. I trust he has got the wrong two by the ear and that Airy who has a back to his head will teach the [?] that errors so serious ought to be and must be immediately investigated and remedied. Happily A. appears to have no disposition to yield and if he is resolute these supercilious [?] must change their notes'.
