Oxford - WB replies to WW's queries in strict confidence: Lord Melbourne appointed Dr [Thomas] Arnold. Sir Robert Peel will appoint his successor [as Regius Professor of History at Oxford University] - [Henry] Hallam would not accept the office if offered to him. [James] Prichard is thinking of the matter, and should write to Sir R P announcing his wishes to possess the vacant office. He should also send copies of all his works and 'state his views in wishing for the Office to be the carrying out the subject of Ethnography; which has occupied so much of his attention'.
