As the Physical Loan Collection at South Kensington includes a new (?) thermometer by Mr. John Williams-I presume the son of the late Secretary of the Astronomical Society-I hereby beg to vindicate my priority therein, as printed in the London Philosophical Magazine for January 1850, vol. xxxvi. My communication is dated Dec. 6, 1849, wherein I proposed making the common -40°F. or C. to be the zero, and the boiling-point of water 1000; being 252°F. or 140°C. interval. Also putting zero at -38°F. to have 250°F. for the extreme difference. This would generally avoid negat. deg. (and even the decimal pointing), merc, freez, -39 = + 4 or - 4 according to the scale 252 or 250 :-
