Scope and content
Trinity College - JCH is sorry he has not replied to WW's letter or informed him on the progress of WW's books, but he has been too busy. However, since WW is 'with seven pupils, and the sea, and Welsh mountains, notwithstanding the uninteresting character of the inhabitants, who, I fear, like most mountainous people, seem rather to be confined than elevated by the scenery in the midst of which they live, you cannot be in any very famishing state from want of occupation; and perhaps it is as well after having feasted so long in the rich pasture of our library to join the goats for a short time in browsing upon the barren rocks'. JCH enjoyed the services he attended at Ely. He 'shall be delighted to find you infusing mathematics into our undergraduates. In our system, as in every other institution, there is much, very much, to improve; but I fear you must be content to do good slowly'.
