JH's views of WW's anonymously written Of the Plurality of Worlds: An Essay, 1853: 'I can't give in my adhesion to the doctrine that between this and the angelic there are not some dozen or two grades of intellectual and moral creatures'. As for his own existence it 'is limited now to the one and only idea of making money'.
