| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from William BUCKLAND, Oxford, 4 Oct 1831. Re: first meeting of the British Association in York, his surprising election as President of the next meeting of the BA, but is unhappy that the scope of the new organisation may interfere with the remits of other societies; makes fun of Dalton's experiments on food, pleased that William Hutton is working on the Whin Sill and Dykes of his locale; Murchison standing up for 'Old Adam' who is at work in N Wales; eager to know Murchison's findings on the geology of Lincolnshire; Featherstonhaugh's new journal; usefulness of De la Beche's 'Manual'. |
