7 Camden St & T - Notes that Whewell is 'propagating an undulation through the College - a very elastic medium'. He hopes the matter will not lead to a gown (nominalist) and town (realist) dispute. He suspects Aristotle shares the fate of Euclid, namely, that 'everybody believed him to be so near perfection, as to be willing to give him the finishing touch'. Ptolemy - 'the real original -' has escaped this fate because he 'was comparatively little read'. He is sorry Whewell is against the Royal Commission since it 'would much tend to open the public eye to what the Univ. really do - So very little is known about them that something of the kind is much wanted'. In a postscript, he adds a humorous definition of metaphysics.
