3 Princes Buildings, Clifton, Bristol - JDF gives an account of his ill health: 'I believe that there is no reason to conclude as yet that tubercles have been formed'. He is reading WW's pamphlet ['Of a Liberal Education in general...3. The Revised Statutes 1851-1852', 1851]. He has been asked to continue Playfair's and Leslie's dissertations on the progress of science to the present time - 'an arduous task - which I am hesitating whether to engage in or not'. JDF is pleased Guthrie Tait was senior wrangler - 'He is a pupil of mine and a hard headed fellow of whom I always thought well. Does Clerk Maxwell attach himself to the studies of the place?'

2 Brook Street - Thanks WW for a copy of his work on English University education: 'The whole argument is strong, or I would say convincing - greatly needed, moreover, at this particular time, where we are surrounded by such novelties in speculation'. For instance HH's 'old acquaintance Hamilton [William Hamilton] (the Ed. Review) who even as a boy of 18 was besotted by the same spirit of vague and verbose speculations, which still governs his understanding'. HH's and WW's mutual friend Hallam [Henry Hallam] has lost his eldest daughter.

Typescript notes entitled 'Notes on the species of "Erythrophleum" and "Aconitum" used in poison ordeals (Dr. J. G. Frazer, letter February 4, 1918)' signed O. Stapf and dated 8 Feb. 1918; accompanied by a small card depicting a world map on which the species of Erythrophleum has been indicated in red ink.

RJ wants to send WW some of his proofs - 'I expect to get 40 or 50 pages set up this week' [printing his lectures - see RJ to WW, 8 April 1845]. WW 'will see that although carefully avoiding controversy yet I am dwelling on elementary principles[.] I might state much more shortly if i had no secret reference to popular errors'. RJ is 'printing now however not for the world but fr a text book for the students only a kind of clean M.S.S. therefore and shall be able to take advantage when I do publish of any hints you may give me'. RJ is 'anxious about this same book of mine - yet I have a clear conviction that it will contain much truth fairly and legitimately got at and worked out and feel some confidence that it will make the next generation wiser if it does not this - I shall publish as soon as the production and distribution of wealth are compleated - as the distribution will include population and a digression on the incidence of taxes laid on articles consumed by the laborer which digression will be a deduction from the population part, why production and distribution will include 3 fourths of the whole work'. RJ will send WW 3 proof sheets next week.

Thanks for Theodor Aufrecht's Catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Athenaeum Club, Waterloo Place, London. - Glad to learn Brown has embraced [New Zealand] on Milnes's advice, though his society is much mussed; hopes friendship will be sustained despite distance; disappointing support by his uncle has underlined moral strength of Brown's move; hopes to hear of his early marriage, as youthful marriages are 'so much the highest happiness possible to man' and the emptier spaces. [Charles Armitage] Brown's translation of Boiardo [Orlando Innamorato?] belongs to Brown's family, and may be claimed from Milnes's library at any time. Limited value of Colonial Office recommendations; 'the feeling is every day gaining ground here that it is most advantageous to a Colony to be as little governed as possible'; wonderful spectacle of the Great Exhibition, but poor showing of United States; offers to supply books. Disagrees about African Squadron; vessels were needed to protect British traders from piracy, and slave-trading is being kept to a minimum.
