Thurlby Hall, Newark - George Green is very grateful to WW for all the 'presswork' he carried out for GG's maiden memoir. Another memoir is ready - could WW say whether it would be favourably received? EB Thanks WW for his pamphlet which he read twice 'and consider the most decisive thing of the kind, that I ever met with - We want the whole of Logic thoroughly sifted in the same manner'. EB commends WW's warnings about premature definitions - the best illustration is found in Botany where Linnaeus refused to define his natural families prematurely. Even in mathematics definition follows knowledge.
