Trinity College - WW 'was greatly indignant at the democrats pretending to make out that it was impendent for the ends of truth and national prosperity that their dogmas on the subject should be disseminated wide and thick, but if you will make haste and give them a second of the true doctrine it will no doubt be much better than any attempt to poke them down by detached arguments' [the intended sequel to RJ's work on rent was wages]. RJ will probably have WW's article in the Quarterly Review: 'I think I have given you a more scanty pittance than I needed to have done. But I was afraid that if I begun at all to talk in the strain which would have expressed my own views and feelings I should lose the confidence both of my editor and my reader, and be looked on as a mere personal friend'. WW likes RJ's 'aspirations after a reform or at any rate a trial in the way of reviewing for ourselves'. He has 'a strong conviction that taking such a line of moral philosophy, political economy, and science, as I suppose we should, we might partly find and partly form a school which would be considerable in influence of the best kind'.

Collingwood - JH does not like book two of Homer's 'Iliad': 'The catalogue of ships is simply abominable - the whole book is such a falling off from book 1 that (but for other characteristic marks) I should scarcely believe is written by the same author'. JH does not want to see any other translations in advance of his own and 'of those I have seen I like my own best'.

Grasmere, Ambleside - Mrs Forbes has given birth to a little girl. They have been to Malvern 'in search of hill air', and are now in Grasmere: 'I have unquestionably benefitted in my general health by coming here'. JDF's preparations for his proposed dissertation 'make very slow and desultory progress' [JDF has been asked to continue Playfair's and Leslie's dissertations on the progress of science to the present time: See JDF to WW, 6 March 1852]. He fears that the vastness of 'the work will break down under its own magnitude'. If WW is going to the Belfast BAAS meeting, JDF hopes he 'will return this way'.
