Winner of the Browne Medal in 1858, to the set subject "Versat / Saxum sudans nitendo neque proficit hilum" [a quotation from Cicero, "Tusculan Disputations" 1.10, perhaps quoting Ennius' "Annales"].

Poem addressed to A[rthur] Sidgwick, telling the tale of Sidgwick's indigestion on Boxing Day in mock-classical style, with allusions to Latin and Ancient Greek poetry pointed out in notes beside the main text. Alluding to Theocritus, "Idyll" 1.66, it asks where the Muses were when 'Rugby's fairest swain / Arthur lay writhing on the bed of pain'. Arthur's brother [Henry], Tom [Saunders?] Evans, [Charles Henry] Tawney and [Henry Weston] Eve are described as coming to his side, as is [Frederick] 'Temple himself', headmaster of Rugby. Sidgwick says that Trevelyan was wise to warn him, as they parted at Cambridge, about 'want of exercise, and Christmas fare'. Ends with a picture of the 'bard' sitting in Rotten Row, lighting a cheroot and smoothing his hat; he lays 'these poor lines' at the feet of Arthur, for whom his love 'grows every hour / Till it be broad as [Arthur?] Monck, and tall as [Henry?] Bower' [both contemporaries of Sidgwick and Trevelyan at Trinity].

8 Grosvenor Crescent, S. W. - Agrees with Dr [William Neilson?] Hancock that it is much better to give widows 'any necessary measure of outdoor relief' to enable to 'bring up their children in an united family' rather than the mother being sent to the workhouse and children to workhouse schools; the way in which children are 'separately absorbed into vast orphanages and the mother left to go to the bad without affection or responsibility is lamentable in the extreme'. There should be periodical checks to 'apportion the assistance strictly to the need' as circumstances change, and family members on whose aid the widow has a claim must be 'made to contribute'. Requests that she asks Dr Hancock to send him fifty copies of his 'Slip' [?], so Trevelyan can 'raise the discussion' in the council; will send Hancock a postal order in payment.
