Inhoud en structuur
Bereik en inhoud
Began transcribing his notes on Cicero. Many merely reference Madvig's notes. Has Schömann's opuscula and will bring next time he is in town. Picked up two German illustrated books for Joseph's children. Prefers Frölich and Pletsch's works to many English children's books. Criticises Wilkins for complaining about the supposed expense and poor quality of his education. Lists textual references to Cicero. Further references annotated in pencil in another hand.
Probably written at some point in the 1870s as it makes reference to 'Jessie and the children' and Joseph Mayor's 'little ones'. His children were born in 1869, 1871 and 1872. Wilkins, described as a 'young gentleman' and a university graduate, was born in 1843 and graduated from St John's college in 1868.
