12 Avenue Jules Janin, Paris (XVI). - Is 'still alive, but not very well', so is staying in Paris until spring instead of coming to London at once as he had hoped. Bolton King, author of "The Unity of Italy', has written a small book on Fascism ["Fascism in Italy"]. Salvemini would much like to get this published, and a group of friends is willing to guarantee purchase of two hundred copies so any publisher would be at no risk of losing money. 'Treve' [sic: Italian rendering of 'Trevy'] gave him an address of a publisher friend with offices not far from the British Muesum, who publishes small books like Bolton King; asks if this work could be proposed to him. If the friend does not seem 'averse', will write to King and ask him to send the manuscript.

Società Italiana per la Organizzazione Internazionale, Roma, Palazzetto di Venezia, Via S. Marco, 5. - Writes from the office for his new position, which corresponds to the W.F.U.N.A., that is, the continuation of the League of Nations Union. Was pleased to receive Trevelyan's good news, and the gift of his publication; hopes he will be well enough to come to Italy in the spring. He is almost certain of coming to London in May, to join the Executive Committee of the International P.E.N, as the P.E.N. Congress will be in Venice in September and he is pushing to be sent to continue preparation. Sends greetings to the Trevelyans and hopes for 'a peaceful and stabilised 1949'.

RJ sees no reason why WW should not publish his lectures ['Lectures on Systematic Morality', 1846]: 'They will be extremely useful to your class and out of them and your Elements ['The Elements of Morality, Including Polity', 2 vols., 1845] you may at some future day make up a finished work - an elaborated system by which you may be content to abide'. RJ is to dine at Henry Brougham's today. 'I am to be examined by the Lords Committee on Tuesday'.

St Thomas's Hospital - WRL outlines the terms of which the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana pays for work - '5 guineas per sheet': he canvasses WW to do the treatise on geometry - which would 'probably not be required before next spring', and a piece on Archimedes - which they need 'for the next part'. WRL would also like WW to do a life of Plato - which could include what little is known of Pythagoras - ready for the Christmas issue.

Appeals to those proposing to vote the following day 'against all consideration of the question of relaxing the requirement of two classical languages as a condition of the Cambridge Degree in Arts'. Maintains that their arguments render their 'summary refusal of inquiry peculiarly unjustifiable.'

Says that a certain section of his opponents who campaign for a refusal of inquiry into the matter base their arguments on the belief 'that it is impossible to impart literary culture without two ancient languages...and that the amount of knowledge of Latin and Greek now imposed by the Previous Examination secures on the average an adequate amount of literary culture. States that 'if the opposition to the Graces had been based on grounds such as these', he would have thought it 'narrow-minded and ill-judged', but 'should not have complained of the stage at which it was offered.'

Strongly objects however to the argument that if the suggested change were to be adopted, it would result in the extinction or abandonment of Greek. As a counter-argument he points out that 'the experienced headmasters - mostly classical scholars - who are foremost in advocating the change, consider such predictions groundless.' Suggests that there is a strong case for further inquiry into the matter, and that the opinions of schoolmasters on the subject 'might be obtained and laid before the University.'

States that 'the list of residents who have declared themselves in favour of the appointment of a Syndicate includes 18 of the University professors', and that to these may be added the name of Lord Rayleigh, formerly Professor of Experimental Physics. Adds that he has been authorised to state 'that Mr. Arthur Balfour has telegraphed from Dublin to a friend in Cambridge expressing his regret that he cannot be present to vote, as he is strongly in favour of the Grace.'
