Scope and content

Persleigh, Maldon, Epson - If WW saw 'Mr Whiston's most abusive pamphlet on 'Cathedral Trusts and their Fulfilment' directed against all the Cathedrals of the new Foundation and Rochester in particular, you may like to see the enclosed Paper [A Letter from the Chaplain of Rochester - see EH to WW, 29 Nov. 1849]. It may shew you that we scarcely deserved all the hard names he has given us'. WW is better advanced in his work that they are: 'We could not get our new scheme through the Hebdomadal Board before the vacation; so it will not come on till the Michaelmas Term; but it is of little consequence, since it will not delay the actual commencement of the altered examinations' [see EH to WW, 4 June 1849]. EH has 'no fear of Political Economy, but I think it should follow the undergraduate course. I hold it to be an excellent part of the whole academical course. And hitherto it has therefore been omitted in my proposed 4th school'. EH thinks this school will deflect their best students from the school of Physics [see EH to WW, 11 Jan. 1849].
