Scope and content
The confusion WW detected in the presentation of his printed lectures arose because - 'I never meant the two series of lectures should [be] bound up in 1 pamphlet but that they should be printed as two tracts between which any thing I liked either additional or explanatory might be let in. But I was ill - the printers took the matter into their own hands and made the mess - I will look them carefully over and write to you'. RJ expects WW has 'heard all about the political intrigues going on -'Palmerston is supposed to have outmaneuvered Ld. John and talks openly of a strong administration being formed in the Spring by him and Ld. Derby excluding most of the Whigs - said Whigs have flown to Ld. Lansdowne in the 11th hour and he will try to help them by becoming Premier for a time they hope and they say he is melting'.
