Thurlby Hall, near Lincoln - Thanks WW for his attention to George Green's memoir. GG is keen to meet WW's 'views in every particular', and if thought necessary to come to Cambridge: 'Would it be too great a favour to request that you would become gardner in this pruning'. EB read the 'little book' WW sent him: 'The book is exactly what I have long wished to see - It set me musing, and I was struck with the parallel state of the progress of scientific Political Economy. There is room for Galileos. The key to progress seems by comparison to consist in giving technical names to complex ideas capable of mathematical definition'.
