Dear Mersenne subscribers,
I've been trying to track down a letter in which John Herschel refers to
the obsession with graphical representation (in the context of Humboldtian
science) as 'chartism' (ho ho) - could anyone point me towards a source for
this statement?
Replies to me, please, not the list
Much obliged,
Ben
