HJR has taken on the Editorship of a Biographical Dictionary which was projected by his late brother [Hugh James Rose]. A considerable part of the early part has been prepared for the press. HJR wants eminent men acquainted with the subjects contained in the Dictionary 'to do me the favor of giving me any list of names, which they will be kind enough to undertake'. HJR wants to extend the project to 12-14 volumes. Could WW send him some names which he would consider contributing: 'I thought perhaps there might be a hope that Newton and some of the greater luminaries of Trinity might hold out one inducement to you...a sort of tribute of household piety towards the glorious institution to which they belonged'. The publishers are the same as those of the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana.
