Trinity College - Thomas Romilly has provided JCH with a tangible reason for writing to WW while he is on the Continent: 'Constanten Prevost has been elected a member of our philosophical society. So much for the impetus from without, the effect of which alas! has already died away, leaving one to mourn that the mind does not exist in that fiction of yours a vacuum, where, when once set agoing, it wd reason for ever. What might happen then, if one could thus discover a perpetual motion of the mind, it is difficult to say. I fear the heart would not run well together with it and would pine at losing its moments of repose and peace and would rub its eyes and stare about it, very much as you do when one comes into your rooms of an evening'. Can WW ascertain where JCH's books are and let his brother, Augustus Hare, know. Reading 'Southey's [Robert Southey] History is, I grieve to say, very little more than doing nothing, and listening to Don Carlos is decidedly less'.
