WW's History of Inductive Philosophy [On the History of the Inductive Sciences, from the Earliest to the Present Time, 3 vols., 1837] has edified me much, so far as I am able to understand and appreciate it. The chief fault I have to find with it is your not dating the dedication from Trinity College. Surely as coming from Bacon's own college, and mainly composed within the walls of it, it should go down as the fruit of the college, and not of some rubbishy house in Hyde Park Street'. JCH would like WW to 'leave a copy of your answer to Babbage's hateful book at the Athenaeum' ['Letter to Charles Babbage', The Athenaeum, May 30, 1837].
