agreeable turn to the dismal impression the parting scenes 

 of the 17th and 18th October had left on my mind. To 

 Miss Baldwin I feel greatly obliged for her comforting letter, 

 and hope she will be able to write me many more equally 

 consoling ; my brother is going to speak for himself, and if 

 I would leave a little room for a few words to my nephew, I 

 must conclude with saying that I am 



My dear Lady Herschel's 



Most obliged and affectionate, 



CAR. HERSCHEL. 



MY DEAR NEPHEW, I thank you for the few lines in the 

 P.S., for by them I see you were thinking of me when you 

 procured some indexes to Flamsteed's obs. But I will nof 

 trouble you to send any ; I only wished you to have some 

 for your own friends, Mr. South, Major Kater, &c., for as 

 they were not members of the R. Society at the time of 

 publication, they may perhaps not be possessed of that 

 necessary Appendix. 



The next messenger will take the book Mr. Babbage 

 wishes for, and I want very much to send you some of the 

 numerous philosophical productions in which this country 

 my nephew Groskopf says abounds, but I am at a loss 

 on what to fix my choice. I wish you would let me know if 

 any of the works of Scliclliny are linoicn in England ? Of 

 him it is said that his philosophy is entirely new, and 

 beyond all what goes before, and so profound, that nobody 

 here can understand him, &c. 



Believe me yours most affectionately, 



CAR. HERSCIIEL.
