Haileybury - Thanks WW for the two books he sent ['Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy in England', 1850, and 'Of a Liberal Education in General...3. The Revised Statutes 1851-1852', 1852]: 'As to University reform I heartily wish they would make you dictator. The multitude of cooks will spoil the broth I fear and the unreasonableness of some of their crotchets is wonderful'. RJ has not yet read Whewell's work on 'the morals'. RJ's 'friends mean to try the present men - if with acknowledgements from the heads both of Church and State that I am to be provided for I still fall through [-] the weight of the stools will not help to make the tumble softer'.
