A Series of Letters: Addressed to the Duke of Sussex, as President of the Royal Society, Remonstrating Against the Conduct of that Learned Body is a book written by George Everest in 1839. The book is a collection of letters written by Everest, who was a member of the Royal Society, to the Duke of Sussex, who was the President of the Society at the time. In these letters, Everest expresses his dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Royal Society, particularly with regard to their treatment of him and his work. He accuses the Society of being biased, unfair, and unscientific in their approach to his research. Everest's letters provide a detailed and critical analysis of the Society's policies and practices, and offer a unique perspective on the inner workings of one of the most prestigious scientific organizations in the world. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by scientists in the 19th century, and the politics and power struggles that often shaped scientific research and discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
