undertaken the
editorship and

out a new way
of correcting
Lunars and says
Maclears work

lend interest to
the book among the

scientific. Printed
in small type
I suppose it will
not occupy
much space
Captain Toynbee
will perhaps
need a few
Nautical Almanacs
from you. I am
at Tete in correction
of slips Will finish all
except the set up
sheets





on Wedensday. I go
to Dublin on Thursday
Did you ever get
an opinion on
the grammar
perhaps the observations
will be a better
appendix than it
Mr Rae . Common

to you He is 37
Jamaica St. Glasgow
If you send
a copy to the
Editor of the
Edinburgh
pray let it be
one in which
an error in
page 96 is
corrected. He
has printed some





sheets correctly.
I would like to
give Captain
Need & Dr
Smith a copy
each for
their kindness
in giving the
drawings —
I sent off  this
morning page

and the last bundle
of slips but two
If you ever
were afraid
of my not
giving you
bulk , you
are not so
now for I
have an index

I am &c
