Item 39 - Richard Jones to William Whewell

4 pp.

With regard to WW's paper on Ricardo, RJ 'can now say with confidence that it only wants unity and adaptation of parts (including both pruning and enlargement) to be all ever I could wish it' ['Mathematical Exposition of Some of the Leading Doctrines in Mr Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy and Taxation', 1831]. Is it possible for RJ to get a Vice-Chancellor's licence to enable the printing of his work now on his own account. This would save much time and he could then give it to the university when it was ready.
