Scope and content

CT has been looking over Jones's [Richard Jones] paper in Rose's [Hugh James Rose] magazine, it 'seems full of wisdom and Temperance'. However to modify the system will probably just increase the 'cry of discontentment which law must suppress so often and custom reconcile by so long usage before submission and permanancy is resumed: - the Truth is, that the want of us people is really a high, religious and judaic feeling and belief that the Tythe is an offering to the Lord'. Could not strong Galvanic power be 'applied to the earth or soil found in mining countrys applied to the actual rock or substance in which Gold is found, would it not produce Gold and the Philosophers stone be found out!!' CT introduces a pupil from Rugby school who is coming to Trinity this term.
