Itchenstoke - RCT apologises for his unceremonious leavetaking at Trinity Lodge last week, but he felt he should make room for late comers. He has been informed by the Bishop of Oxford, 'a few days since, of the purpose of Government to issue such a Commission [into the universities] as you have alluded to. Indeed he spoke of it, & apparently with knowledge, as already issued. He did not think that Ministers had any purpose of again attempting to compel the universities to admit Dissenters - but that the expressed purpose of the commission would be to enquire whether the universities could not be made, as regarded the members of the Church, more adequate to the needs of the present time. I am not aware whether the Bishop knew who the members of the commission were or would be. He only stated that no one concerned with the University Education would have any place on it - & that it would contain a good number of sufficiently unfriendly names'.

George Green and EB are grateful to WW for all his help with the printing and distribution of GG's memoir. Sends WW another memoir to WW by GG: 'the Cambridge Transactions ought to lead all others in mathematics. I am convinced that the want of them is deemed an affectation - You are right about practical analysis - the age of the Warings, the Quixotic Chivalry of science is gone for ever'. George Peacock's algebra - '(to use a comparison) he still begins the Differential Calculus from Velocities'. Richard Jones 'is certainly a very able man - his idea of the labouring Classes gradually coming under the domain of Capitalists, is striking and true'. The 'moral machinery' of industrialisation 'has not kept pace with the population'. WW's Bridgewater Treatise 'is very striking - It certainly places the whole affair on a new and solid foundation'. For EB 'the Belief of a Deity from a view of nature is a matter of impression - what brings direct conviction to my own mind would appear absurd to another, and I never could announce it without hesitating'.

Is a sculptor, and went to 'Amadeus' as another night out, but found it profoundly illuminated her own experience as an artist constantly tangled by the labyrinths of administrators, and the power games played, particularly towards her as a woman: 'Salieri, so skilfully highlighted upon that stage, underlined just why power games are so serious to the players'; she left the theatre with 'eight years of social ambiguity and frustration ... succinctly brought into focus'.

Is sorry to have left the party but was not prepared for the stunning impact of the extraordinary play and production.
