| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from John Frederick William HERSCHEL, Slough, 29 Mar 1839. Re: Is flattered that the Bishop of London should think he should be Professor Rigaud's successor [as Savilian professor of astronomy at Oxford University] but he declines to devote his time to his own interests; looking for a residence close enough to London to qualify as a Resident Fellow but which will still allow him to refuse claims on his time. |
