He takes an early opportunity to thank his Lordship for his appointment to the position of Deputy Keeper of the British Institution; unfortunately his health is such that he would be unable to perform the necessary duties. Therefore recommends
James Nixon, an Associate of the Academy, for the post. He is informed that the committee concerned with the business of the British Institution meets tomorrow to appoint a Librarian, and that the job is so large that an assistant librarian is also probably required; he recommends
William Upcott.
