| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from Mary SOMERVILLE, Naples, 9 Apr 1869. Re: recommends the excellent work of Dr Keith Johnston [Alexander Keith Johnston (1804-1871)], to whom she is under obligation for helping her with her book on physical geography; was mortified when August Petermann, whom Johnston employed, received the medal of the Geographical Society that his name was not mentioned, hopes Murchison can offer a few words of commendation. |
