Letter, from Roderick Impey Murchison to Sir John Herschel
Reference number: HS/12/428
Date: 25 April 1863
Description
Autograph letter signed by sender. Attended the lectures given by John Frederick William Herschel's son at the [Royal Institution] and Michael Faraday and Bence Jones think he should not be considered for the post at the Geographical as he is cut for more scientific things. Would like John Frederick William Herschel's views.
