7 Camdn. St. & T. - He has received 'the Newton' [Edleston ed. Correspondence of Sir Isaac Newton and Professor Cotes]: 'It is that kind of book of which one's opinion is not made up in a month or two'. He 'expected a strong Anti-Leibnitio-Flamsteedian bias'. He is to send Whewell a copy of the Logic and his new mathematical paper. Has Whewell seen the recent article in the Athenaeum [Dec. 21 1850] claiming William Hamilton's quantification of the predicate was first published by George Bentham in A New System of Logic (1827). De Morgan confirms that three of Hamilton's 'great points' are to be found in this work. Hamilton had in fact reviewed the book which 'stands at the head of his celebrated article on logic' in the Edinburgh Review.

Wixenford, Eversley, Winchfield:- The result of Bobbie's work this term is 'on the whole decidedly satisfactory', as Trevelyan will see from the enclosed report and list of examinations passed this term. Bobbie has 'pretty nearly kept pace with the scheme' which Arnold sent a few weeks ago detailing 'what we hoped he w[oul]d accomplish term by term'. He is 'anxious to do some work in the holidays', so Arnold has put down what he thinks will 'help him most', in case Trevelyan agrees Bobbie should do some work and can find time to 'give him a little help'.

Arnold has lent Bobbie a copy of the first book of [Xenophon's] Anabasis, which he should 'now find well within his power', and recommends letting him 'translate about 12 lines daily on paper, as far as possible against time'. He 'still requires drill in the verbs in μι', but will 'get that next term at school if it cannot be managed in the holidays. Arnold has also lent Bobbie 'a little book of Latin Exercises' from which he could do 'about 8 sentences' a day; Bobbie's form-master Mr Evans has offered to check these exercises if they are sent by post, and would also correct the Xenophon if required. Evans will be with Mr Sellar at Ardtornish House, Oban, 'helping Gerard with his work previous to going to Eton next half'. Arnold send [his and his wife's] 'united kind regards', and wishes the Trevelyans 'a most happy holiday'.

110 Banbury Road, Oxford.—If he thought The Guardian would print his (anonymous) article [see 1/121] he would fear detection, but he is glad that it has at least had an underground circulation, though in view of the European situation it is merely an academic comment. The Times neglected to report Litvinof’s criticisms of Chamberlain but has nevertheless attacked ‘the indecency of German haste’, and ‘official Britain’ seems at last to have realised that Chamberlain is not to be trusted. His reading of Petrarch for this term’s set of lectures has led him to think of writing ‘a vindication of the Renascence’ in the form of articles for Scrutiny. Draws attention to Petrarch’s great merit as a humanist and the general lack of understanding of his position. Will send Smith the first lecture as soon as he has delivered it. Suggests that Smith should reprint his contributions to Scrutiny as a book. Cites evidence that Petrarch never read Homer and gives some advice about [Tasso’s] Aminta.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - A 'very large, and really beautiful silver cup' has arrived as a New Year's present, with the inscription 'Sir George Trevelyan, Historian of the American Revolution, from his Friends Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root, Henry Cabot Lodge'; they are the 'three first men in America'. Lodge has also written a history of the Revolution, and has always shown 'great generosity' about it. Sends the opinion [on matters relating to Florence Trevelyan's will?] in a separate parcel.
