Edinburgh - Thanks WW for his letter and essay [a version of his 'On Mr. Macaulay's Praise of Superficial Knowledge'?]: 'it is not without satisfaction that I observe, how in the main, our arguments seem to fortify rather than oppose one another'. JDF has decided to 'claim your good offices with Mr. Parker and to publish my essay' ['The Danger of Superficial Knowledge; an Introductory Lecture to the Course of Natural Philosophy in the University of Education', delivered on Nov. 1 and 2, 1848].
