Second letter from Balfour Stewart, regarding a paper 'An account of experiments on the change of the elastic force of a constant volume of atmospheric air, between 32° F. and 212° F., and also on the temperature of the melting-point of mercury' by Balfour Stewart
Reference number: RR/5/262
Date: 22 July 1863
Description
Returns the reports of William Hallowes Miller [RR/5/258] and George Gabriel Stokes [RR/5/260], and will be adopting their suggestions, although the new experiments will take time and may not be ready before the end of the year. Is considering writing a new communication in which the results are compared and the experiments expanded upon.
