Item 16 - Letter from William Whewell

WW has been waiting for Julius Hare to find out the answer to HJR's question. WW can only find one of the books HJR requires in the library: 'When you come you may put them down in the order book'. WW is pleased to hear that HJR is continuing with his work on inscriptions: 'I shall be glad to hear of the appearance of a work which I am sure, whenever it does appear, will bring you a large portion of kudos with respect to the sort of historical purpose you talk of I can only say that I have always found such accounts exceedingly interesting, and that this one, on a subject where anything like a general account is I suppose nearly untouched, must be very desirable' ['Inscriptiones Graecae Vetustissimae/ Collegit, et Observationes tum Aliorum tum suas Adjecit Hugo Jacobus Rose', 1825].
