Stuk 43 - Richard Jones to William Whewell

4 pp.

Brasted - RJ's job will delay his beginning to print the second volume of his work. When WW receives RJ's reply to John R. McCulloch's review of his book ['Review of An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and on the Sources of Taxation By the Rev. Richard Jones', Edinburgh Review, 1831] - 'you shall decide how it shall be used and by whom'. RJ does not know who the political economist was who reviewed his book in the Quarterly Review ['Review of An Essay on the Distribution of Wealth and the Sources of Taxation By Rev. Richard Jones, Quarterly Review, 1831] but expects to find out next week: 'I can very well account for your abstinence from direct praise - you must naturally have felt very much as if you were reviewing a book of your own'. Has it ever occurred to WW 'that if Ricardo McCulloch and Co. really ever suspected anything about peasants rents their general positions as to the regulating causes of wages must have been modified?' RJ is pleased that WW has a chance of getting rid of his Professorship - 'Induction demands all your devotion'.
