Oriel College - EH hopes he can take up WW's invitation to stay when he goes on a business trip to Essex on the 11th February. He has been so busy that he has not got far with WW's Cambridge Studies [Of a Liberal education in General, and with Particular Reference to the Leading Studies of the University of Cambridge, 1845]: 'What I have read, however, has uniformly appeared to my mind correct. And I hope your opinion may become known here as well as at Cambridge; for there has been some tendency here also to go on too rapidly into 'Progressive studies' and to give up Geometry for Analytics. - Some of your subjects came into controversy here about 30 years ago, and you would find some excellent remarks in Copleston's [Edward Copleston] Reply to the Edinburgh Review...and in an article by Davison [John Davison?] on Edgeworth's Professional Education in the Quarterly Review for October 1811'. The only point of WW's book EH thinks questionable is his use of the word 'Reason'.
