Description
Autograph letter signed by sender. Did John Frederick William Herschel know when he was Master of the Mint that Isaac Newton had introduced a golden quarter-guinea? Most of his family are at Aldeburgh. Does he know Tristram Shandy's sense of proportion? Charles Babbage has become a public benefactor by the passing of the act against barrel organs.
