1 doc

Reports that having just appointed a chairwoman at Dublin Castle, he now has to 'make a Professor of Greek at Cork.' Asks him what the Cambridge honours in the enclosed list [not included] amount to. Declares that '[a]t the same time you don't need a Porson for an Irish Queen's College.' States that there are 'one or two excellent men standing', but that he would like to appoint a Royal University man 'if decency should not happen to forbid.'
