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'.

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'.
