Scope and content

East India College, Hertford - Le Bas will write off to the editor of the B.C. [British Critic]; 'I have never seen any symptoms of insanity about him; and therefore presume that he will be delighted to hear of your proposal'. Le Bas agrees with WW that 'in the present state of the science, the best thing that can be done is to keep it quite distinct from theology'. Le Bas admits that he has been responsible for 'a good deal of what has been vented in the B.C. for the last two or three years'.
