Asks for a portfolio 'exactly like Edward's that is with the "leg" attached to the frame'. Sends the enclosed item [not included] to be forwarded to his aunt. Sends his love to his aunt.
Reports that he has seen both Dr Coit and Muirhead in the past few days. Writes to explain his understanding of the matter to Sidgwick. Reports that he has thought over the scheme a little since speaking to Coit, who proposes to raise a fund for supporting ethical missionaries and wants Muirhead, Stout, Stephens and Sidgwick 'to act as a kind of counselling board and especially as licensing the said lecturers.' Refers to the financial side of the question. Doubts the success of the scheme. Suggests that if Sidgwick is in agreement with him they should make their positions clear.
Sem título7 C St. & T. - Further to his remarks [letter written earlier that day] on Whewell's paper on curves. ADM could not rest with WW's unexplained 'change of sign at the cusp' and attempts to begin one, which he shows, but is 'not familiar enough with your processes yet to attempt anything in the way of explanation'.
When they last met HB should have mentioned Mr Rodrich - a young friend of HB's - who is going to Cambridge: 'I am anxious he should be made known to you whether he enters at Trinity or not'.
Collingwood - JH sends WW his translation of book fourteen of Homer's 'Iliad', and hopes WW is not getting too tired of the subject: 'for the very name of a translation of Homer is beginning to nauseate the Public'. JH notes that yet another hexameter translation is coming out 'by a Mr. Saxton or Simpson? or some such name!...I spare you that it is dead weight'. JH is still suffering from bronchitis. JH does not think he will be able to get his translation printed: 'Longman whom I contacted about printing the 1st half as vol. i. fights shy of it altogether and talks about the general prejudice against Hexameters etc'. William Herschel and his wife have arrived in Calcutta.
Is going to write a second part to Of a Liberal Education, and would like to print extracts from a letter Lyttelton wrote dated 29 Nov. 1847 (Item 59).
Kama, Sunningdale Avenue, Chalkwell Park, Westcliffe-on-Sea. Dated June 8, 1917 - Read his 'Totemism and Exogamy' and has some notes on maternal influence upon the unborn: the 'elephant man' whose mother was frightened by an elephant, chicks who similarly looked like a parrot, suggests a parallel with a mention in Max Müller's autobiography of a bodily sympathy with others who are injured.
1 Brick Court, Temple, London, E.C.4. Dated 3 Feb. 1919 - More about the Royal Society committee funding Roscoe's expedition to Uganda: [Arthur] Keith is waiting to know whether [Walter] Long and Lord Milner will join the Committee; is glad an inexpensive substitute can be found, and that he will use Goverment agents in Mombasa.
WW has been writing his reply to Peter [possibly William Peter or Karl L. Peter. See WW to RJ, 9 October 1831], and is inclined 'to make a separate pamphlet of it by which means it can be more easily disseminated among those whom one would wish to see it'. WW does 'not much like the thought of having anything to do with Blackwood' [Blackwood Magazine]. However, because his piece on John Herschel in the Quarterly Review 'is so little likely to attract or interest readers that I have little doubt Lockhart [John Lockhart] thinks himself well rid of me'. WW should do what Macaulay [Thomas B. Macaulay] 'does in reviews, who always takes care to put in as much thought as he can express clearly and illustrate well and not a bit more'.
For health reasons RJ is going to Bournemouth for Easter. He found the new Archbishop intelligent and agreeable. A friend of RJ's has informed Lord John Russell that he wishes to retire - RJ hopes to get a pension for his services. The Government is prepared for pickpockets and Chartists - 'more than 20,000 constables are sworn in[,] have been organised and are quite ready - they consist of all ranks from Dukes sons to the humblest tradesmen. The police report, that there will not be more than 30,000 of the mob and there is nearly a volunteer constable apiece for them besides the Blue Bottles and red-coats but as it is said a little gun-powder is just what the French and Irish emissaries want I hope there will be no firing'.
