| Description | "Requesting on the part of Sir John Rennie a subscription to his publication on harbours." (The circular letter is dated at 106 Great Russell Street. Annexed is a prospectus of "The Theory and Practice of Natural and Artificial Harbours" by Sir John Rennie. The date above is that on the docket, and is probably the date of receipt. A similar prospectus was issued by Edward Cresy, Jan. 1840; see General Correspondence.) |
