Scope and content
Richmond. - Writes in hope of terminating the differences which have arisen between himself and Sir Charles Trevelyan. Had intended to publish a selection of his father's correspondence, including many of Lord Macaulay's letters, and sent it to Edinburgh to be published. Abandoned this intention in consequence of Trevelyan's objections; thought however that he would be 'acting within the law, and not infringing [Trevelyan's] legal rights' if he had printed only 'an impression of fifty copies... for private circulation'; Messrs Constable were printing this when served with an interdict. Heard of the proceeding 'with great surprise'; thinks it must have been 'taken in ignorance of [his] real intentions'.
