Content and context

JDF is 'quite pleased' with the 'first part' of WW's work ['An Elementary Treatise on Mechanics', 4th edn., 1833 or 'Analytical Statics', 1833]. He was interested by WW's account of the Poissonian demonstration: 'I knew it was remodelled but have not examined it tho' I have the book. I too have been dabbling recently in Rotation, and a confounded subject it is'. Gives a copy of a memorandum he received from Lord Adare of Edward Sabines description of the Auroras.
