Glasgow - Murchison [Roderick Murchison] showed CL WW's letter, and both agreed that it 'was so strong that it would be impossible to name WW next day in spite of it' [next President of the BAAS?]. Lord Northampton declared against himself being chosen claiming it was the turn of a scientific man. 'There has never been so much about our being honoured by so many dukes and marquisses in three speeches by three persons since you left that the naming one Mr Whewell as the next President is the only thing that can redeem our proceedings from the reproach of taking a very low standard in the estimate of the real dignity of scientific men and in turn the true objects of science'.

Chadstone, Northampton. - Thanks for book, received via Lord Northampton; the Clephanes are also delighted with the poems, which convey 'Truth in the symbols of world-enduring beauty'; contrast with Shelley, who 'seems a sealed book to so many, I suppose it is from the difficulty of sympathising when one's fancy is perfectly bewildered'; regrets absence of the Roman sonnets.
