Is going to write a second part to Of a Liberal Education, and would like to print extracts from a letter Lyttelton wrote dated 29 Nov. 1847 (Item 59).
7 C St. & T. - Further to his remarks [letter written earlier that day] on Whewell's paper on curves. ADM could not rest with WW's unexplained 'change of sign at the cusp' and attempts to begin one, which he shows, but is 'not familiar enough with your processes yet to attempt anything in the way of explanation'.
Collingwood - JH sends WW his translation of book fourteen of Homer's 'Iliad', and hopes WW is not getting too tired of the subject: 'for the very name of a translation of Homer is beginning to nauseate the Public'. JH notes that yet another hexameter translation is coming out 'by a Mr. Saxton or Simpson? or some such name!...I spare you that it is dead weight'. JH is still suffering from bronchitis. JH does not think he will be able to get his translation printed: 'Longman whom I contacted about printing the 1st half as vol. i. fights shy of it altogether and talks about the general prejudice against Hexameters etc'. William Herschel and his wife have arrived in Calcutta.
