Adam Sedgwick informed Turner that Whewell would be coming up to visit, 'and that I might then look to see both of you in Yarmouth'. He went to a couple of Sedgwick's lectures: 'The fulness of his mind, the ardour of his spirit, the comprehensiveness of his views, depth of his knowledge, and the fluency of his diction are all wonderful'. Turner is pleased Whewell is working on something 'worthy of your mind, your knowledge and your name' ['The History of the Inductive Sciences, from the Earliest to the Present Time', 3 vols., 1837].
