Bridge of Allou, Stirling - Mr and Mrs Forbes are hoping to go to Germany in a fortnight for two months. They will return sometime prior to the BAAS meeting in Edinburgh. They 'are very anxious' that WW and Mrs Whewell will 'favour us with your company at that time' (31 July to 7 August). JDF read WW last 'little book you sent me [Of a Liberal Education in General...2. Discussions and Changes 1840-1850, 1850]: and I can well believe that your judicious desire for a pause, in order to let your arrangements work themselves out - will not be particularly gratified by Lord John's [John Russell] most unexpected announcement of his Royal Commission [of inquiry into University reform]: but this ministry is not famous for carrying out its proposals'.
