_Nov. 27th._—You will see, my dear Lady H., by the above, that at different times I have been employed in giving a circumstantial account of all what concerns that part of my family amongst whom I came to end my days; but I would not conclude, nor send off my letter, till I should have received some satisfactory account of your well-being, and the arrival of the last post has given a most agreeable turn to the dismal impression the parting scenes of the 17th and 18th October had left on my mind. To Miss Baldwin I feel greatly obliged for her comforting letter, and hope she will be able to write me many more equally consoling; my brother is going to speak for himself, and if I would leave a little room for a few words to my nephew, I must conclude with saying that I am My dear Lady Herschel’s Most obliged and affectionate, CAR. HERSCHEL. [Sidenote: 1822. _Settled in Hanover._] MY DEAR NEPHEW,—I thank you for the few lines in the P.S., for by them I see you were thinking of me when you procured some indexes to Flamsteed’s obs. But I will not trouble you to send any; I only wished you to have some for your own friends, Mr. South, Major Kater, &c., for as they were not members of the R. Society at the time of publication, they may perhaps not be possessed of that necessary Appendix. The next messenger will take the book Mr. Babbage wishes for, and I want very much to send you some of the numerous philosophical productions in which this country my nephew Groskopf says abounds, but I am at a loss on what to fix my choice. _I wish you would let me know if any of the works of Schelling are known in England?_ Of him it is said that his philosophy is entirely new, and beyond all what goes before, and so profound, that nobody _here_ can understand him, &c. Believe me yours most affectionately, CAR. HERSCHEL. FROM MISS HERSCHEL TO LADY HERSCHEL. HANOVER, _Dec. 18, 1822_. MY DEAR LADY HERSCHEL,—
