Summary: In the "Quarterly Journal," various scientific topics are discussed, including astronomy, geology, mineralogy, and lithography. An essay on the orbit of a comet, corrections in planetary tables, and a Danish standard of length are highlighted in the contents. The journal also covers miscellaneous intelligence such as the usage of naphthalene as a source of light, lithography for reproducing Oriental manuscripts, and the exploration of potash from potato stalks. Furthermore, a list of new publications in botany, chemistry, geography, geology, mathematics, and medicine is provided. However, analysis of Dr. Thomson's "System of Chemistry" reveals inconsistencies in specific gravities and errors in chemical compositions, undermining the book's credibility. Dr. Thomson's critique of the Royal Society's rejection of papers and his attack on scientific authorities exhibit a lack of understanding and a tendency for baseless accusations, raising concerns about his approach in scientific criticism.
