Miller had hoped that his research would reveal some relationship between the chemical properties of the substances he examined and the pattern of colorful lines observed in their flame spectra.
Miller's demonstration indicates nothing concerning his knowledge or acceptance of Bunsen's and Kirchhoff's spectral work, but it does show that as an empirical method of chemical analysis, flame testing had become a matter of routine at the introductory level in the universities by 1860, even with no physical theory on which to found it.
Huggins occasionally confused dates and it may be that this is just another instance, but I have been unable to find an entry elsewhere which is sufficiently similar in wording to the extract he provided in his letter to identify it with certainty as the note in question.

Huggins resisted this move because, as he explained to Robinson, he was aware that while increases in aperture improve a telescope's light gathering potential, speculum metal reflectors suffered a greater loss of light in transmitting the image to the observer than refractors of comparable size.
Huggins' anxieties aside, one week earlier, on 31 October, Robinson had sent to George Stokes a detailed proposal suggesting that the Royal Society commission a telescope to be built by an experienced instrument maker specifically to advance the cause of nebular and stellar spectroscopic research.
Huggins, who, in addition to his devotion to a pursuit where he has already obtained such grand results, would be doubly stimulated to exertion by such a mark of approval and confidence from the Heads of British Science.
