Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society', but only in part. The author does not appear familiar with the researches of others. Considers the practical part of the paper to be 'extremely valuable' and worthy of publication in the Philosophical Transactions. Suggests omitting the rest of the paper. Is happy to assist in making the paper eligible for publication.
