""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.
