Scope and content
Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Comments under the date that it is 'a precious dreary bank holiday'. Asks whether 'Mr Clifford Allen is of the publishing firm'. Asks for the name and address of the friend who lent them Aksakov's "Russian Gentleman" so they can return it; mistakes [Harry] Norton's name for 'Norrey', though remembers that he is a fellow of Trinity; perhaps Elizabeth can bring any later volumes; wonders whether these might cover 1812, the 'biggest thing of modern history except our recent Armageddon'. Caroline has been reading Robert's [translation of] Lucretius, while he himself has been comparing it with the Latin; quotes Lord Courtney's praise of Lucretius, from Gooch's 'excellent biography'.
