Canvassing WW's support for his 'Course of Lectures on the Science and Practice of Elocution which I have solicited the permission of the Vice Chancellor to deliver at Cambridge'. JT has 'devoted a considerable portion of the last thirty years to the purpose of establishing the Theory and Accomplishment of oral utterance upon Scientific Principles, deducible from the laws, or necessities of organic structure and action, and the consequent inherent principles of prosodial harmonics'. He wants to bring his findings - 'I may say discoveries' - to the attention of men of science like WW.
