Letters from Sir Herbert Jenner-Fust, Prof. Henslow, Lord Morpeth, the Bishop of Melbourne, Lieut. General Thackeray, the Marquess Camden, and an unidentified person.

Trinity College. - Enclosing copy of terms arranged between himself and Mr Blakesley which he hopes Wordsworth will approve. Mr Birks has determined not to return to College, and so his assistance with tuition will not be available; Perry and Blakesley wish to wait until Mathison has obtained a Fellowship so that they may propose him for the appointment; 'there is no one at present on the list in whom [Perry] should feel any confidence, and [Mathison] is a young man recommended both by his Mathematical attainments and also by his exemplary conduct and agreeable manner'; hopes that Wordsworth will not object to this course.

One sheet of arrangements, beginning 'The Math[ematica]l Department shall be under Mr Perry, & the Classical under Mr Blakesley...' Concerning lectures, accounts, discipline, communications with prospective students, allowances etc.

Letter in a clerk's hand, signed by Scholefield, Minister of St Michael's; George Langshaw, Vicar of St Andrew the Great; George Spence, Vicar of St Clements, Henry Hutchinson Swinny, Vicar of St Giles & St Peters; Charles Perry, Minister of St Botolph's; Thomas Boodle, Minister of St Andrew the Less; Frederick Hose, Curate of Trinity Parish; [Capham?] Barry, Minister of St Edward; John Lane, Curate of St Andrew the Less & George Coulcher, Curate of St Benedict.

Perry [Charles Perry] has observed 'with great pain and grief the destitute state of Barnwell as to religious instruction; but with more courage and heart than others, he has set about trying to remedy it'. He wants to build a church: 'I think the spirit in which he has set about his task, as well as the object itself will induce you to do for him what you can'. WW is 'especially puzzled about my title - 'A History of the Inductive Sciences' - that is too indefinite. 'A History of the Inductive Sciences' - that implies 'all the' and is too presumptuous - 'A History of the Principal Inductive Sciences' - that is too narrow for though I do not wish to say so I have taken all which are, properly speaking, at present Inductive Sciences. I am mightily embarrassed with this dilemma'. Scholefield [James Scholefield] has vacated the Greek professorship and WW expects Connop Thirlwall to be a candidate.
