Also transcript of letter, Thomas Carlyle to George Otto Trevelyan, 3 Apr. 1876.

These letters were found in an edition of Lucan once belonging to Thomas Babington Macaulay, and containing annotations by him. Sir George Trevelyan read through Macaulay's annotations in his retirement and published Marginal notes by Lord Macaulay](https://lib-cat.trin.cam.ac.uk/Record/cb3e6e1b-d386-492f-b8d2-9e729a4ba531) in 1907; in these letters his son Robert discusses the text and some of Macaulay's textual criticism.

The Mill House, Westcott, Dorking. - Discusses a passage of Thucydides, and Macaulay's criticisms of Lucan, which 'are among his very best... He never fails to choose out the best passages, and to laugh at the bad ones'. Robert 'has a great affection for Lucan, perhaps out of proportion to his merits', partly because after Catullus he was the first classical author he studied 'on my own adventure, and so, as it were, with passion', and partly because he read it at school with Bowen, who 'delighted in Lucan, and thought his cleverness and brilliance... apart from all others'.

The weather is 'desperately and oppressively hot'; he and Bessie are going to Borrowdale before coming to Wallington. Hopes 'London is not going to be visited for its sins like New York' [perhaps a reference to the stock market crash?]

The Mill House, Westcott, Dorking. - Robert and Bessie send thanks for the present of fifty pounds, which will 'more than cover the income tax'. Glad there has been good weather at Wallington; it has 'just broken' here, and the 'autumn is well upon' them. Discussion of a reading by Sir George in the text of Lucan; hopes he will convince Lord Ridley [see TRER/12/45]. Must read Carlyle's letters; Aunt Annie has an early letter, which he and Bessie thought 'admirable'.

Has just returned from town, where he has been discussing his book [Polyphemus and Other Poems] which will probably come out early in November. Bessie sends love.

Letters dated 20 Nov. 1873 - 19 Oct. 1874.

H5 Great Court, Trinity College. - Scott and Jack Longland did 'the library chimney climb last night in the bright moonlight'; they took [Young's] guide and read it by moonlight at the bottom of the chimney. George Trevelyan was going to accompany them, but had a meeting and missed them. They took a look at the library face on the New Court side'; comments on problems of climbing it, with illustrations; 'part of the programme of the next meet on Saturday next', unsure whether it will be a 'new climb or not', as Young only records a downward climb with a rope. Young has added a pencil note at the end 'They did it, I think'.

MS annotation at top of first sheet: 'note found in copy of GWY's Roof Climber's Guide to Trinity Feb. 1986'. Text records that this copy was given by Young to Prof. Norman Collie, 'scientist, artist and sometime President of the Alpine Club' on its appearance, returning to him after Collie' s death.

Written as a 'May week joke, to appear during the festival days at Cambridge at the end of the summer Term', along the lines of G. O. Trevelyan's Horace at Athens etc. Written 'from memory' when Young was studying at Jena; the MS was sent to his friend A. M. Mackay, who 'drew the illustrations but did not alter the text'. Mackay checked the routes with Young's brother Hilton, who was 'so fascinated by the traverse over the ivy-clad arch into St. John's that he crossed it three times, outward'; arousing suspicion from the porters by returning after midnight via the locked Trinity Gate; subsequent enquiries led to Hilton Young and Mackay being sent down for the Long Vac.

Comments on the history of climbing in college: Edward Bowen 'broke out of the turret stairs' onto Chapel, and Byron 'got on to the Library roof, and decorated the statues', but again Young found he had not climbed up but broken onto a staircase.

Young's own explorations were between 1895 and 1899, with companions including F. M. Levi, Young's 'close friend' Christopher Wordsworth, Cyril Clague, W. W. Greg, [J.] F. Dobson, A. Wedgwood, and G. M. Trevelyan. Further climbs were carried out in 1901 and 1902.

In the autumn of 1901, the Vice-Master W. Aldis Wright determined 'that the College must take cognisance of Roof-climbing, and decide whether or not it should be made illegal'; two junior Fellows, G. M. Trevelyan and Gilbert Walker, were appointed to report on the matter, with power to co-opt Young as a non-resident member of committee; they 'did the climbs and circuits in full daylight, with two of our former enemies, the College Porters, carrying the fire-ropes behind us through the Courts, in procession! As a result of the official Report, the practice was made (officially) illegal'.

Comments on Roof-Climber's Guide to St John's, by 'two "Blues"', including Hartley, and the second edition of the Roof-Climber's Guide to Trinity which appeared in the 1930s

Concludes that on the whole 'it is the best situation in Borrowdale: and therefore in the English Lakes: and therefore, for short mountain walks, in the World'.

Reports that they have met Edmund Fisher and his wife, 'who is nice and prettyish'. Announces that he reviewed a poem called Ludibria Lunae in the Spectator.

Asks whether she intends to go to Rugby for the vacation. Informs her that the only time he can go to them is 'the Monday week after Easter to stay till the Saturday: or two or three days at the beginning of Passion week...' Explains that he has asked a friend [G. O. Trevelyan] to stay with them at Rugby for the week after Easter, and that he intends to go down to examine at Harrow at the end of March.

HS coached men for [ ]'

Announces that he is in the midst of scenery [in Carnarvon], 'which is not first-rate but very pleasing...', and comments on its similarity to the Lakes.

States that he intends to be there for at least a week, returning to London probably early in September. Claims that he is behind with his work, and thinks that when the holiday is over, he shall have to work hard on till Christmas.

Asks her to thank their mother for her letter [101/176], which he intends to answer soon. Refers to [his cousin] Annie's remark as 'discriminative', and explains that the reason he chose to comment on 'that particular essay of Arnold's was not because it was the most impudent, but because it seemed the most complete and decisive enumeration of his theory of life.' States that he was glad to get Arthur's address, but does not think he will be sending a letter to him in Switzerland. Is glad to hear of her progress. Encloses 'a little poem' [not included], which he cut out of a magazine, and also 'a German effusion' of his [not included].

Claims that Myers' 'emotional dissipation' fills him with 'entertainment, envy, amazement and certain sympathetic gloomy forebodings...' In relation to his work on philosophy, states that he thinks he has 'made a point or two about Justice', but that the relation of the s[exes] still puzzles him.

[Even if he is not a god, as you say, call him one...], adding 'This is not what the Devil says now, but something much subtler in the same style'.

Writes from London, where he is 'engaged in assisting in a collection of Ghost stories and similar matters...' Has been given Edward's name as the secondary authority for a story, which he encloses [not included]. Wishes her to find out whether that version is what was told to Edward, and also the name and address of Edward's informant. Asks after her family. Supposes that Edward is in London from time to time, and asks her to tell him that Henry shall be there 'off and on during July.'

Asks her where and when she intends to go on holiday. Announces that he and are going to have two or three weeks' holidays in September, which they intend to spend partly in Yorkshire, and partly, possibly, in Ireland, visiting the Chief Secretary [G. O. Trevelyan]. States that he has never been 'to that unhappy country, and [is] curious to see how it feels when one is there!'

Hopes that his book [Principles of Political Economy] will be out in October. Announces that he does not give up his Praelectorship until Christmas, and therefore shall be in Cambridge the following term, but not at his house. They hope to spend a spring in Italy, and come back to their home in April for the May term. Sends his and Nora's love to all the family.

Explains the delay in answering Cowell's letter, claiming that he had mislaid it, and had forgotten where Cowell would be; says that he could only remember that he would be at F[lorence] 'about the beginning of May.' Apologises for his carelessness, and claims that he was further delayed in writing by his having to research some lectures that he had to give on the Acts of the Apostles. Regrets that they could not have met up at Florence. Reports that [Henry Yates?] Thompson's failure in the Tripos took them all by surprise, and that the latter seems to have taken the result 'a good deal too coolly; and to have imitated [George Otto] Trevelyan's dangerous example of reading by himself and doing no composition, without having any of Trevelyan's classical intuition...' Reports that Thompson is now in Auvergne, having perfected his French at Paris, and that Trevelyan has returned from Paris. Expresses some doubts in relation to the latter's account of his and Thompson's sojourn in Paris.

Admits that his is a very nice life, and that he actually gets through 'so very little work.' Wishes that he could shake off his laziness and begin to write.

Discusses his interpretation of the words 'religious' and 'irreligious' as applied to men.

Hopes that Cowell is 'getting happily and delightfully convalescent' in 'the famous city of Dante' [Florence].

Reports that Trotter has returned, and that he and Sedley Taylor went up Mont Blanc.

He had just accepted a Rugby mastership, but seemed to have forgotten about his composition lecture the following term. Adds that Clark was at Constantinople, and so Sidgwick 'could not get out of his difficulty except by telegraphing; he wrote subsequently to Temple to decline altogether, but was immensely disgusted at his "Vaughnism" - and on Monday morning packed his bag, and rushed to Paris, overwhelmed with shame and chagrin, to learn dancing.'

States that he has promised Eve to take his place at Wellington College during the fellowship week, and that when the fellowship exam is over Trevelyan, Wilson, and possibly Tawney are going to join Young in Wales. Reports that '[a] man called Thomas Harvey brother to the blacksmith who fires the guns, unfortunately smashed his mother[']s brains out, and two other people[']s heads in with a hammer the other day, at Fen Ditton, he got off and eluded the police for five days, by [clearly] hanging himself 50 ft high on a tree, not 200 yds from his mother[']s house.' Sends his love to Browning.

Announces that she is going to see Minnie the following Monday, and will see Martin and Arthur before they go to school. Declares that the loss of 'the Crescent Villa family' is great, and hopes that the move may bring some greater good to William. Asks Henry to write to tell her when he is going to visit in October.

Relates that some days ago Edward received a letter 'from the author of [Other]Footsteps on the boundaries [of another world etc etc. - enclosing an account of the dreams connected with the Italian boy', which she believes Mr Eagles told them some years previously. States that 'Mr Owen has heard these dreams as connected with the family of a Mr. Benson - formerly a "Teacher at Rugby" and so writes to ascertain the truth'. Asks if Henry can help.

Claims that she has not heard of any of the books Henry mentions, [see 99/47] as they, at Wellington College, do not subscribe to any library now.

Hopes that they shall see Henry 'just when the school reopens', but suggests that he might be in Yorkshire at that time, and that, if so, he should come to them 'in the new house about the end of September'.
