Description
Ivory compares Airy's method of expanding the disturbing function with that of Lagrange, suggesting that Airy has 'borrowed' from Lagrange.

The letters are dated 30 May 1833, 14 November 1833, 15 November 1833, 20 Nov 1833 and 26 Nov 1833, with the remaining letter undated.. One letter from Roget in reply (dated 25 November 1833).
