Capitolo 73
sent to Mawman the copy of my Trigonometry for the Encyclopaedia
Subway for which I received _L42_. I received notice from the
You press Labor union to which the price of my Mathematical Lines has been sheltered
_6s. 6d._: I sold the edition to Deighton for _L70_, and it was
it immediately published. Around this duration I have letters from Mr Herschel
and Mr. H. Davy on a Paper to be introduced to the Real Society--me

and it received four chronometers from the Real observatory,
Greenwich. Me travelled of Devonport and Falmouth to Camborne, where me
arrived in May 20 and he/she dined to the supper of count-house to the mine. ME
you/he/she was accompanied by Ibbotson that it was busy as a pupil and deliberate
for an engineer. In May 24 Whewell arrived, and we took a pendulum
and it beats down, and 30 the observation started of
coincidences in deposit. This job, with the change of the
pendulums and the short and different consignments, occupied almost three
weeks. We had continued the calculation of our observations to each
possible interval. You will understand that we made to free one
I sway that swings of forehead to a pendulum of clock above of, and another
likewise climbed on under; and what the clocks were comparative from
chronometers compared above of, they brought down and they compared, it compared
before going away, and it brought on and it compared. The superior and it lowers
pendulums had been exchanged. You/he/she was now found that the trust
on the steadiness of the chronometers it was too much great; and a new method
you/he/she was conceived in that for every series the chronometers should do
four trips and it has four comparisons above of and two under. This
setup started on June 19 and continued up to the 20. On
the 26 we compressed the lowest tools, while intending to compare the
I directly sway with the superior, and it sent them on the auction: when
