11 Canonbury St., Islington - WI has read WW's 'beautiful Bridgewater treatise [Astronomy and General Physics Considered with Reference to Natural Theology, 4th edn. 1839] with great delight and pleasure' and would like his autograph. WI suggests that sound behaves in the same way as pebbles hitting water cause circles: 'why should not sounds pass through the air and cause displacements around in like manner?' Its reach would depend on the force of the sound and the resistance it encountered.
