Re: Has only just received the paper by Henry Clifton Sorby, on the microscopical structure of crystals, he is to referee as it was sent to his Oxford address; has only had time to look over it briefly as the paper is very long; has had too limited experience with a microscope to decide on the accuracy of Sorby's findings. |
