41 Chalcot Villas, Adelaide Road NW - Thanks him for his History of Discovery [Philosophy of Discovery 1860?]. Notes that WW has 'at last admitted that Induction = Induction means Induction < > Induction. Whether you have gone as far with logic I have not yet found out'. Roger Bacon is a great favourite of his 'and he ought to be allowed his share of the name of Bacon'. Wonders if less dignified names hinder reputations; says a latinised version of Sheepshanks' name would have 'looked grand' in the Middle Ages. In a postscript, he shares a few notes on the book.
