With regard to JCH's complaints concerning the inactivity of Cambridge - 'I did not mean to include you in them. God forbid! What I said in the preface to my sermons shews I'd not give way to such delusion. But alas! you seem just now to be almost the whole university. I know not what there may be doing in science; in philology there is very little: in philosophy and theology hardly anything. As to the general question, I don't believe that people are to see their way before they begin to act. it is by acting that they find out their way. Do and ye shall know applies to all action of our higher nature...With all the errors of the Oxford men, they have done much, they are doing much: and what do our men? sneer and find fault'.
