41 Chalcot Villas, Adelaide Road NW - Thanks him for his History of Discovery [Philosophy of Discovery 1860?]. Notes that WW has 'at last admitted that Induction = Induction means Induction < > Induction. Whether you have gone as far with logic I have not yet found out'. Roger Bacon is a great favourite of his 'and he ought to be allowed his share of the name of Bacon'. Wonders if less dignified names hinder reputations; says a latinised version of Sheepshanks' name would have 'looked grand' in the Middle Ages. In a postscript, he shares a few notes on the book.

JSB was aware that WW had a chapter on Roger Bacon in his Inductive Philosophy. WW's account has generated much of the current interest in Roger Bacon's philosophy. JSB is not at present employed on the Opus Majus, but the 'Opus Tertium' and 'Opus Minus'. The MS of these are very rare. Bacon frequently refers to the Opus Majus which is found in the Trinity MS, and JSB would like to see it. He has discovered a 'fine MS of this work at [Badby]'.
