Scope and content
7 Camden Street, Camden Town - He has been meaning to respond to the last point of Whewell's letter on enunciation, but he has been looking through the proofs of an account of Newton by David Brewster. He describes how his check of the references has shown a story to be false: the story about Newton being offended by being represented as an Arian by Whiston that he blocked the latter's entry to the Royal Society. De Morgan discusses his definition of enunciation at length.
